Weight loss: Consider genetics. Also thyroid issues. Try progressive exercises, cut out unnecessary carbs & sweets. Consider portion control, group/behavioral approach, get a friend to work with exercise & diet.

Check thyroid: Get checked out. I would include thyroid panel in the testing. Check free T3 (liothyronine) and reverse t3 (liothyronine). Ft3 (liothyronine) should be in upper range and rt3 (liothyronine) in lower range. Subclinical or functional hypothyroidism can also impair digestion. Consider digestive enzymes or betaine hcl.
