Weight loss: Check TSH, T4. Check for celiac s food intolerances may cause difficulty with weight homeostasis. Keep a food diary to assess what you eat and drink ( juices can be high in calories) Check you BMR http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ for baseline calories needed .Walk 10,000 steps/day f/u w/nutitionist/doc

Thyroid: A thyroid test would be most important. Low thyroid hormone is common in women and can cause difficulty with losing weight.
