Have they checked thyroid levels recently or in the past since low levels can be treated with medications. Hypothyroidism can make it more difficult to lose weight. Certain meds can make it more difficult to lose weight since some increase appetite. A dietitian and/or fitness trainer can help give tips on improving metabolism.
