Cannot lose weight despite working out

2020-06-18 17:23:10
I suffer from hypothyroidism and am currently taking 150 mg tablets daily. 3 years ago I also found out that I have developed PCOD and despite leading a relatively healthy lifestyle- working out (strength and cardio) and practising intermittent fasting, I am unable to lose weight. Even if there is a weightloss, it is very insignificant. This is leading to a lot of frustration and de motivation. Despite categorising myself as an individual with a relatively healthy lifestyle, I have gained 20 kilograms in the past 2 years. What can I do? Is there any way I can figure out what the problem is?
