Hello,
Although metformin does tend to induce weightloss in some people,but it is not used as a weightloss drug.
Do a proper diet control and regular exercises to achieve weightloss.
In case you are not able to manage your diet or do proper exercises,you can take the services of a dietician and a physical trainer.
Thanks
