I was like you but no health issues bh until I faced reality that I must eat less to lose weight. I've always eaten very healthy but too much healthy food will not allow weight loss. That together with a strict 6-8 hour eating window (no coffee etc.) allowed me to lose nicely slow & steady bh.

Almost no sugar
Almost no bread
Lots of protein
Healthy fats but in moderation.

How long would you say to do weight lifting for a beginner?
And where do you see the difference? All over?

I would start Weight Lifting with body weight only as a beginner or start pretty light, just the barbell with no weights attached.

I incorporated Kettelbells and dumbells first and then added heavier weights and a barbell and leg press.

I do a combination of squats, lunges, deadlifts etc. depending on day.

Deadlifts are incredible. best workout for the buck imho. Works legs, back, and abs.

Form is most important is you don't want to get injured. I would hire a trainer, or do it the cheap way and watch a lot of YouTube videos.

I saw results fairly quickly, maybe a couple of months.

However, we are all built differently, I tend to lose weight very quickly waist up, and this is where I tightened up as well, went from a large to a size small very, very quickly.

Below the waist not so much, but did drop a size or two. I have very muscular legs and I always gain muscles there first. BH for skirts!

Please tell me more. How did t3 replacement make a huge difference to you?
Yes, I likely have all those issues. What do I do? Where do I start?

I only got new rx a couple of weeks ago so too soon to expect results.

You need an endocrinologist or a functional medicine practitioner. Specify location & perhaps you'll get names.

High intensity workouts/exercise twice a week aerobic or hiit or sports (makes it more fun) or walking up hills fast (or else doubling the amount of time you spend walking up inclines) and then build your muscle mass by eating protein and building muscle (muscle burns fat so focus on the biggest muscles which are thighs and hamstrings)
Only with your doctors consent (my father passed away from starting new exercise regime that was too intense for his heart-pls be careful)
