Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What you are doing seems to be absolutely fine for weight reduction. You need to have patience as it takes a little longer time than normal when you are are on medication.
What can be advised is to cut down one form of aerobic exercise and include one isometric exercise in the form of brisk walking in a day for 40 minutes.
Also take fibre rich diet and drink good quantity of water everyday.
Gradually you will lose weight and reach your target.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
