The usual statement of 'calories in calories out' is not enough. Losing weight is usually a matter of changing your lifestyle, mostly to change what and how much you eat and how much exercise you get.
With the meds you are on, and your thyroid issues, I'd strongly suggest seeing if your health care plan covers a nutritionist. Having them do a consult with your prescribing doctor(s) would be a good thing to do. That way you get a comprehensive medical opinion.
You will also get more replies to this if you repost this on the main board.

I, myself, don't believe in diet drugs.
I limit portion sizes and do more excercise, but that is just my opinion.
