Weight that keeps rising despite regular exercise usually comes down to diet, sleep and stress patterns, and sometimes to hormonal factors like thyroid or PCOS, so it’s worth getting those checked with your doctor. With a desk job, a customised diet plan matched to your routine often makes the biggest difference. I’d be happy to build one for you, so please book a consultation.

Hello, thanks for writing in. It's frustrating when you're putting in the effort and the scale still goes up, but this is very common, and there is usually a clear reason behind it.
Steady weight gain despite regular exercise often means the cause lies beyond calories and workouts. Common reasons at your age are hormonal patterns like PCOS, a sluggish thyroid, stress and poor sleep (which raise the hormone cortisol and make the body hold on to fat), irregular meal timings, and too little protein. Exercise alone also doesn't help much if the diet is slightly off, and sometimes the body adds muscle and water too, so the scale doesn't tell the whole story. Once the pattern is identified, weight usually starts moving again.
Next Steps
A few simple tests can show what's holding your weight: thyroid (TSH), fasting sugar and insulin, vitamin D and B12, and, if your periods are irregular, a hormone check. A video consult can then connect these with your routine, diet, sleep and stress, and give you a plan made for your body, so your effort finally shows results. It also helps to note your periods, usual meals and exercise for a week before the consult.
Health Tips
- Eat 3 regular meals with protein at each (dal, paneer, eggs, curd, sprouts), and avoid long gaps
- Cut back on sugary drinks, sweets, bakery items and packaged snacks
- Fill half your plate with vegetables, and choose whole grains over refined flour
- Add strength exercises or yoga 2 to 3 times a week with your regular walking or cardio
- Sleep 7 to 8 hours at a fixed time, as poor sleep strongly affects weight
- Make time to relax daily with a walk, breathing exercises or hobbies
- Drink plenty of water and keep dinner light and early
- Track progress with waist measurement and photos, not just the scale
If you're still worried, do book a consult and we can look at it together. Take care.

Weight management depends on several factors, including dietary habits, portion sizes, sleep, stress, and hormonal or metabolic health.
A personalised nutritional assessment can help identify possible reasons for the weight gain and create a sustainable diet plan suited to your routine and lifestyle. If the weight gain is persistent or unexplained, it is also important to consult your doctor to assess possible underlying causes, such as thyroid dysfunction or PCOS.
Next Steps
I would recommend a detailed dietary and lifestyle evaluation so we can work towards healthy, sustainable weight loss rather than relying on exercise alone. You can book an appointment on Practo with me.

Exercise alone often isn't enough if diet, sleep, or hormones are working against you. At 24, stubborn weight gain despite regular workouts can point to thyroid issues, insulin resistance, or PCOS. It can also simply mean you're eating more calories than you're burning without realising it.
Next Steps
Get your thyroid, fasting insulin, and blood sugar checked, and track your periods since irregular cycles would point toward PCOS. Keeping a food diary for two weeks often reveals hidden calorie sources like snacks or drinks.
Health Tips
If your periods are irregular or you notice new hair growth or acne along with the weight gain, please see a gynaecologist for a PCOS workup.
