Long time reader, first time poster. I've also posted this to the hypothyroidism thread.

I've been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism but my doctor says my medication level is "fine" and doesn't really see the need to increase/adjust.
I can't for the life of me lose weight. I have no self confidence, no self esteem, just feel awful every time I look in the mirror and it's really getting me down. My boyfriend says he thinks I look great but I just feel like crying. I get stressed out when I have to get dressed up or go to meet anyone because I feel like I look awful in everything and I just want to wear baggy clothes. I'm not overweight, but I'm not skinny either. I carry a lot of weight in my legs/bum, but have a small waist and would say I have a more muscular build. I lost a little bit of weight (about 4kg) last year but that's completely stopped.
I feel like I've tried absolutely everything to lose weight (fat) and nothing works. I've stayed basically the same weight since Aug 2020 and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I understand weight loss plateaus but I literally cannot shift this.
I watch everything I eat, in a calorie deficit, get enough sleep, drink 2.5-3L of water a day, I've even started doing 16:8 Intermittent Fasting. I don't eat gluten (coeliac), dairy, or soy, and limit sugar and alcohol.
For exercise I do weight training 4-5 times a week, an hour of HIIT training twice a week, and go for an hour long walk every day (I make sure I always hit at least 10k steps everyday). I'm thinking of starting running 3 times a week too. When the gyms were closed I kept it up weight home workouts.
Any tips/advice/questions are very much welcome!
