HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Your diet sounds very good and healthy. You can look at the method of preparation of the foods to see if this may be having an impact eg frying but no breading and also the amount of foods used.

It is possible that you may be using too much. Look at portion sizes as well.Consider meal replacement of one or two meals a day.

You may also need to consider medication to help with weight loss , this can be prescribed by your doctor or a weight loss doctor.

I hope this helps
