Weight loss: Often a matter of will power and persistence. Simple math. If you use more energy than you take in you will lose weight. Try 3 small meals a day, leaving table not feeling stuffed. No snacks, no soft drinks, no alcohol and regular exercise (walk 3 miles a day). You are the only person who can help you lose weight.

Try metformin if you: Have pcos, working slowly up to 1500 mg help 30% of women ovulate, lower insulin, and can help weight. With pcos your risk of a mood disorder is doubled, buproprion can help and works well with metformin for weight loss but increase them both slowly. I usually give Clonazepam at night for sleep while initiating buproprion b/c it can make u anxious at first and may increase insomnia.

Calorie restriction: If you are still gaining weight - you are eating more calories than you burn. The solution is simple but not easy - you just have to eat less. The only way anyone loses weight is to eat less calories than they burn. There is no magic way to lose weight - it requires calorie intake restriction. Very few people can exercise enough to lose any significant amount of weight.
