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.

My recent TSH test result is 3.42. I have been taking 125 mcg of thyroid medication for years, but I am still not getting relief and continue to gain weight. A doctor I consulted for back pain mentioned that the medicine I am taking could be fake, since my thyroid is in range but my dosage is high. What mcg dose should I actually be taking?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I suffered from asymptomatic COVID-19 two months ago, and my test was negative after seven days. After that, I developed a thyroid problem 1.5 months ago. I have consulted my doctor and am taking all medicines regularly. I am a married woman for seven months, and we have been trying to conceive for one month, but I have not become pregnant. Please give me some advice?
