General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concern
Brief answer: Thyroid hormone replacement,less calorie diet(Moong dhal doesn't cause negative impact),Regular exercises 30 to 60 minutes daily,drugs like orlistat,gemfibrozil.
Detailed Answer:
If i were your family physician,would ask for few information to give a better opinion like
1)Are you on thyroid hormone replacement therapy ?---as thyroid hormone is necessary for maintaining your basal metabolism(without which,you may not lose weight significantly despite diet and lifestyle modifications.
2) Lipid profile (serum triglyceride and Total cholesterol levels)--For considering addition of drugs like orlistat,Fibrate group drugs like gemfibrozil
I would advise to consult with an endocrinologist for thyroid hormone replacement if you are not already on..Hope this information helps you.If any questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
