HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Your BMI, which is your weight for height is 42. This is in the obese range.
It is understandable to concerned with your weight.
There are doctors who specialise in weight loss, bariatricians, that may be able to help you with your weight loss effort.
If these doctors are not available in your area, you can try a nutritionist.
I hope this helps
