weight loss support - under active thyroid

Hi

since I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid a few years back I have really struggled with losing weight.

I am on 225mg Levothyroxine but this does not seem to make a difference.

I have tried everything dieting, regular excercise but I really struggle to shift it!

Has anyone been prescribed weight loss medications / injections from GP or are you aware of this is an option if you suffer with under active thyroid?

Or any other hints tips for losing weight with under active thyroid??

Thank you.
