Hello,

I advise you to taper Metolar as it is the only medicine to cause weight gain.

If you stop it altogether your BP can shoot up so it's better to slowly taper it and keep a regular check on your BP.

Most importantly exercise and proper diet is what you need and then you won't have to take any medicine. Consult your concerned doctor and get your medication tapered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
