Obesity treatment

A body weight of 61 kgs at 22 years of age is not necessarily considered obese or even overweight. Since you haven't mentioned your height, which is an important factor in determining your ideal weight, it is not possible to say for sure, but it is likely that you are merely a few kilos overweight. Weight gain is however one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient amounts of the thyroid hormone.


Assuming that this is the cause of your weight gain, treating the condition will help bring your weight under control. There are no home remedies to treat hypothyroidism; the only treatment is thyroid supplements to make up for the deficiency in your body's production of the hormone.

However, exercising and following a healthy, balanced diet are always beneficial.


If you do not already exercise, you should start doing so regularly. Working out for at least half an hour a day will help you lose weight and generally feel more alert and fit. With regard to your diet, simply try to eat sensibly — you don't seem to need a drastic or strict diet. Cut down on fats without cutting them out of your diet entirely, and eat more fiber.
