See MD: I would see your MD to look into any medical issues that may be making weight loss difficult. If you have a strong family history of weight issues and diabetes ask for a lipoprotein subset testing for insulin resistance syndrome. If positive, early treatment for this condition can help balance your metabolism. Also ask for Vit D testing as too low Vit D can also cause slow weight loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance
