Hi,
I understand that you have been trying to loose weight since last 2 months and haven't been able to.
First of all I would appreciate that you have concerns and motivation to do exercise.
At your age, we do not expect an medical condition which can lead to weight gain.
As far as, exercise is concerned, yes, thats mandatory.
However, in our experience, its observed that, once you start exercise, it takes any where between 3 - 4 months before you actually start losing weight. That's precisely the case with you.
Please continue with your exercise routine as it is.
Do not get into any supplements or herbal products as they will do more harm in long term. I don't see any reason why you will not loose weight in a month or two from now.
Control your calorie intake. Say no to fats, chocolates and junk food.
Have lots of fruits and vegetables.
Wish you all the best.
Do get back if you need any further information.
Thanks and Regards
Dr Kiran

Hi,
Thanks for the follow up.
Please do not get demotivated.
Its the body's normal response.
By the way you must also try and maintain a strict diet.
Medically, if you have to get your self evaluated for weight gain, you must get a Thyroid Test done.
As I said before, I do not consider any underlying medical problem for your current situation. Its just the response of your body.
So keep up with good work you are doing.
You will certainly start reducing in a months time. I assure You.
Watch what you eat.
Cut down on fats, chocolates, junk food and cold drinks.
Take Care
