Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain constipation can occur due to causes like sudden change in dietary habit, side effects of medication, lack of physical activity,stress,dehydration, diseases like Irritable bowel syndrome etc..
I would suggest you to start taking a high fibre diet and along with it you can also take plenty of water..
Take plenty of green leafy vegetable, fruits and salads..
You can also continue taking fibre supplements and laxatives..
Do moderate workout and take walk after meals..
In case if still there is no improvement consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you Colonoscopy to rule out the cause.
You can be advised Prescription medicines like Lubiprostone and Linclotide..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
