As you say that you have put on weight suddenly, you must get your thyroid checked. An underactive thyroid can be a possible reason for sudden weight gain, lethargy and inability to lose weight inspite of increased activity. You must get your thyroid tested to rule out the possibility of hypothyroidism first. Continue exercising even if you do not lose weight. Have a low fat diet and increase intake of salads and fruits to reduce calories in your diet. Avoid junk food like pizzas, burgers and fried stuffs. But first consult a doctor in your city for accurate diagnosis.
