Hello,
There can be various reasons for not loosing weight like...
1... It is possible that you may still be having hypothyroidism inspite of having normal TSH.So get tested for thyroid antibodies also.
1... Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue resulting in excess cortisol production leading to weight gain.
3... Lack of sleep.
4... Go for high protein and low carbohydrate diet.
5.. Keep doing regular exercises
6.. Medications like anti depressants and birth control pills can result in weight gain.
Consult an endocrinologist for proper evaluation and management.
You can definitely be all right.
Thanks
