Weight Loss Resistance

I am a 28-year-old with Thyroid and a BMI of 32.0. I have been taking 50mcg of Thyroxine for one month, and my TSH is shigh at 10.5 mIU/L, and my HbA1c is 6.0%. Despite being physically active with swimming and recently started gyming, I am experiencing complete weight loss resistance and a high Visceral Fat level of 18. My biggest struggle right now is that I feel I have absolutely no control over my hunger; I experience intense 'food noise' and the urge to binge even immediately after eating full meals. I recently completed my Vitamin D treatment, but my metabolism feels completely stalled. I would like to know if my thyroid dose needs to be increased and if I am a candidate for Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) to help manage this uncontrollable hunger ?? I really want to lose weight as I'm out of energy and all day I feel inactive and sleepy

Hello Doctor. From the past 1 and half months, the back of my throat has been constantly red. My throat feels dry and I also feel little pain. Recently I have noticed white and little peeled skin under my lower lip.I have taken medicines in which antibiotics, pain reliever and steroids was added. But kush fark nahi dikh raha.  I don't drink alcohol and have never used any other kind of intoxicant. I have taken the 4 ARV shots in Jan due to little puppy bite me in the foots toe, Although there was no skin tear or wound, I just felt a little pain, so I got it applied as a precaution. After some time I had a cold, the cough and cold got cured but this throat problem has persisted since then. Pls guide me and suggest the correct medicine.
