Brief Answer: she must exercise Detailed Answer: Hello, I see that your wife's thyroid test is normal. What is her latest TSH value? Could you please let me know about the same? Constant increase in weight while she is dieting and taking home remedies for weight loss means to say that she is not burning enough calories or she might be taking more than required calories a day. I would suggest you to get her a diet plan according to her weight and height. You can raise a request for a 'dietitian consultation' from your dashboard for the same. Second, only dieting will not help. She must exercise to burn the calories as well. Regular moderate physical work out is required of her. I am not sure about the home remedies that she is taking. I would not be able to comment on that. Wish you both good health. Regards,
