On the mini pill. weight loss has halted. could the pill be responsible? lost 20kgs in the past 6 months, still have calorie deficit and daily running

Could be: Oral contraceptives are steroids and may be contributing to your inability to lose weight, however, not very much. You are on thyroid medication, so i would advise you to get your thyroid levels rechecked because they may have changed since you lost weight.

Probably not: I congratulate you on a tough achievement. Most people who lose weight plateau at some point. You can restart the loss by increasing your calories for a week than drop back to your current level. Also mix up your exercise by alternating running with swimming or biking for example or add some brief sprints during your daily run.
