At 26 years, failure to lose weight despite effort usually means one of the following is happening: • ❗ Calorie intake is unknowingly higher than estimated • ❗ Insulin resistance / PCOS • ❗ Hypothyroidism • ❗ High cortisol (stress, poor sleep) • ❗ Sedentary metabolism despite workouts • ❗ Crash dieting leading to metabolic adaptation Before prescribing medication, I would not jump directly to fat-loss drugs unless: • BMI ≥ 27 with comorbidities • BMI ≥ 30 Weight loss treatment must be metabolic correction first, fat loss second. If you are truly doing “everything,” then we need to check whether it is: • Correct nutrition • Correct intensity exercise • Correct sleep • Hormonal imbalance
Next Steps
Step A: Basic Investigations Get these tests done: • TSH (thyroid) • Fasting insulin • Fasting glucose • HbA1cLipid profile • Vitamin DB12 • Ultrasound pelvis (if irregular periods → rule out PCOS) ⸻ Step B: Structured Fat-Loss Routine
Health Tips
✔ Do NOT undereat — it backfires hormonally ✔ Focus on protein, not calorie starvation ✔ Measure waist circumference weekly (not weight daily) ✔ Manage stress — cortisol blocks fat loss ✔ Avoid detox teas / slimming centers ⸻ If you share: • Your height • Current weight • Period regularity • Any thyroid or PCOS history I can design a more personalized structured plan for you. For safe and effective fat-loss planning tailored to your body type and labs, booking an online consultation would significantly improve your results and avoid unnecessary trial-and-error.

Stress can increase hunger hormones and make you eat more, leading to weight gain. Poor sleep, emotional eating, and high-carb foods can also make you feel hungry again soon.
Next Steps
Try regular meals with more protein and fiber, good sleep, and stress control. Please consult me for proper evaluation and guidance.

Hello, Weight loss is a continuous process that requires regular monitoring and discipline. Kindly don't expect any quick way to get it. Medicines also can only be given by doctor after examination and blood tests. Only thing which you can do is to maintain a calorie deficit by at least 600 calories daily i.e. eat less than what you require and burn more.

Weight loss can be difficult due to hormonal imbalance (thyroid, PCOS), insulin resistance, poor sleep, stress, or hidden calorie intake. I would suggest checking your weight, height (BMI), menstrual history, diet pattern, and activity level. Basic tests like TSH, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and lipid profile may be required. Meanwhile, follow a high-protein diet, reduce refined carbs and sugar, walk 30–45 minutes daily, add strength training 3 times/week, and maintain proper sleep. Please share your details so I can guide you more specifically. In case of further assistance, you can consult me on Practo. — Dr Sachin Madan, MBBS MD Medicine
