I am gaining weight drastically and even after following a proper diet I am not able to lose weight. I am having neurological and other problems due to this. My blood report also shows high fat percentage. What should I do to lose weight? I do not want traditional suggestions like diet or exercise as I have already tried those.

Consider hormonal causes like hypothyroidism or Cushing syndrome. You may also explore options like GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide) under supervision. Please consult an endocrinologist for targeted therapy.
