Due to medicine you take for treatment. First way is diet restrictions and lifestyle modifications. Another way is medical management.

With a BMI of approximately 42, multiple comorbidities (BP, cholesterol, thyroid, OCD), and long-term medications, this is a complex obesity case that goes beyond simple diet and exercise advice. The first and most important factor to review is your current medications â many commonly used drugs for OCD, BP (beta-blockers), and thyroid conditions are well-known to cause significant weight gain. For example, certain antidepressants and antipsychotics used for OCD (like olanzapine, mirtazapine, some SSRIs) are among the most weight-promoting medications available. Similarly, if your thyroid is not optimally controlled (TSH not in the lower half of normal range), weight loss becomes very difficult. At your current weight and BMI, standard dieting alone is unlikely to produce meaningful long-term results without medical support.
Next Steps
Schedule appointments with: (1) your Psychiatrist â to review whether OCD medications can be changed to more weight-neutral alternatives; (2) your Physician â to optimise thyroid and BP medications; (3) a Bariatric Surgeon or Obesity Medicine Specialist â at BMI 42 with comorbidities, bariatric surgery is medically indicated and is often the most effective long-term solution. Also get a sleep study done (sleep apnea is very common at this weight and worsens obesity). Start gentle walking 20-30 minutes daily, reduce refined carbs and sugars, and increase protein in each meal. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
