I am a 35 year old male with a slim build, but I have a tummy circumference of around 41 inches and a little fat on my face. I am also taking thyroid medication. How can I reduce tummy fat effectively?

Belly fat is common in hypothyroid patients. Focus on strength training, walking, and low carb meals. Recheck your Thyroid Profile to see if dose is working. Avoid crash diets.

Question

I have thyroid and I have my latest test report. I want to consult a doctor so that I can take proper medicines.

Hi, my T3 and T4 are high but TSH is normal. I also have PCOS. Can you please suggest if these can be a reason for weight gain? Even with a normal diet, my weight is increasing continuously. Please find the attached blood test report.

Question

My blood test report has shown some abnormal figures, but I neither consume alcohol nor smoke. What could be the possible cause of this? I have read that heavy workouts at the gym may also cause changes in liver enzymes. My LDH is 375 IU/L, and my TSH is 6.4 mIU/ml. Could you please clarify what this indicates? I am planning to repeat the test in a different lab before consulting a doctor. At present, I do not have any issues with my bowel movements, urine, or food intake. During this period, I was also taking Acutret 10 mg for 10 days, and the test was conducted while I was on this medication. Could this tablet have caused any side effects reflected in my report?
