Can Over Medication Of Practin Cause Obesity In Adulthood ?

Hi, I was given Practin syrup as a child (3Years+) till the age of 8. It was recommended by a doctor because I was not eating properly. And ever since the age of 8 in have been obese. I lost weight in between when I grew taller. However I’m 23 now and my height is 5 feet 11 inches and my weight is 97Kgs. And I’m over weight again. Can this be a cause of over medication at young age? And what is the best cure for it. How can I lose weight?
