I'm trying to figure out which kind of doctor I should see for my thyroid issues. Should I book an appointment with an ENT specialist, or is there another type of doctor I should be consulting for this? I'm a bit unsure about the best approach.

I've been struggling with managing my weight and height because I'm 100kg and 58 feet tall. I really want to adopt a healthy diet and exercise plan, but I'm so busy with my studies that I can't find the time for regular exercise. I'm worried about how this is affecting my health. Can you suggest a simple and effective plan that fits into a hectic schedule?

For exercise, try incorporating short, effective sessions like 20-30 minutes of walking, cycling, or home workouts that you can fit into your routine, even if it's just a few times a week.
