Lose weight first: A tummy tuck by itself will not help you lose weight. Also if the adjacent areas have excess fat then the tummy tuck result will also be sub-par. Start controlling what you eat and drink and increase the aerobic work-out and if your calorie intake is less than what you burn then you will lose weight. After reaching or coming close to ideal body weight, then cosmetic surgery will show better result.

See endocrinologist: You should have your thyroid and hormone levels checked. I'll bet you need free t3 (liothyronine) and progesterone, but a careful and thorough work up is needed to see why you can't lose weight. Liposuction or tummy tuck won't work! honest!
