Weight Gain
Hi, I have always maintained a healthy diet and do regular exercise. My weight has always been 54-55kgs.. During last few months I increased the intensity of my exercise but instead of loosing weight I have started gaining weight. My thyroid levels are 6.9 but I have been taking medication for it since 7 years now. In my CBC profile all the others levels are normal. My bowel movements are also normal. My sleep is also between 7-8 hours at night. I have been exercising and following a healthy diet since 2017, because of which I could loose 11 kgs post pregnancy. Since then my weight was always between 54 to 56kgs. Over a period of 3-4 months it is now 59-60kgs. My period cycles are also normal. Please advice

Hi
It could may be due to some hormonal disturbance or imbalances which might in turn
leading to BMR disturbances as well...
Everything seems normal except for any hormonal disturbance relating to thyroid..or any..
In your case fat free mass should be increasing...please consult doctor regarding your thyroid levels once again..and take necessary guidance..wrt increasing weight ..
Also please check whether you are having mostly home cooked food or not..
And if you are consuming only home cooked food, check for the different other method of cooking, meal portion size, what type, variety and kinds of food's you are consuming are all very important to know..

Exercising excessively does not guarantee weight loss, infact it causes muscle inflammation ,body pains and hinders the weight loss significantly.
So moderate intensity workout of 30 minutes for 5 days a week is more than enough.
Along with healthy diet, taking small and frequent meals, drinking 2-3 litre of water and sleep of 7-8 hours per day.
