Suggest Treatment For Hormonal Imbalance

hi doc
one of my friend is suffering from harmonal imbalance. She is 25 years and due to this she is gaining weight. As she was regular in gym doing cardio n light weight training, she is somehow successful to stop the weight gain. However she is unable to lose already gained weight. Doctors have checked her thoroughly. They doubted first thyroid galnd malfunction but now they told its harmonal imbalance. Any advice regarding weight loss will be appreciated.
Thanks

1) tab orlistat taken orally it decreased fat absorption from gut. Average weight loss is 3-4kg per month if the person 's diet predominantly fat based.

2) inj. liraglutide it's a GLP 1 analogue approved once a day injection taken , it decreased appetite. average weight loss 4-5 kg in guidelines. But in my experience I have seen 10 kg in one month.
