Difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise in someone on thyroid medication is very common and usually has a specific reason â either the thyroid isn't optimally controlled (TSH not in the ideal range), there is underlying insulin resistance, or hormonal changes around the 40s are making fat storage more efficient. At 42, perimenopause can also begin to contribute, making weight loss significantly harder. Generic diet and exercise advice often doesn't work when there's an underlying metabolic cause.
Next Steps
Get a TSH check to confirm your thyroid is well-controlled, along with fasting insulin, HbA1c, and Vitamin D levels. These results will guide whether you need medication adjustment, insulin-sensitizing treatment, or a structured metabolic diet plan. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
