Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history, my comments are as follows:
1. Hypothyroidism, if untreated will lead to weight gain and hinder any weight loss regimen.
2. Low hemoglobin will induce tiredness and reduce your overall workout and can hinder weight gain. Reduced hemoglobin indicates malnutrition and requires proper diet.
You need to improve thyroid hormone levels and also your hemoglobin to reduce weight.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
