I think i have a metabolism problem. my dr says everything is ok. i weight 250 and 5 ft 3. i have gained 50 pounds in about a year. im always tired to?

Elevated BMI: Your dr probably said all is okay based on normal labs (thyroid, etc). A 50 lb weight ain in 1 yr is clearly abnormal & a multifactorial process is likely at play. Endocrinological causes should be ruled out. Certain medications, depression, sedentary life style (enforced or not), are some of the causes. Work on your diet and instill a regular exercise program until things are figured out.
