Leptin resistance

I got my leptin levels measured as part of a clinical trial (about Covid booster shots, nothing to do with weight loss) and mine is 139 ng/mL, the reference level is 18 ng/ mL. I haven’t been able to speak to a doctor yet - they send the numbers by email on Friday and someone will call if there’s anything to say, at some point next week.

From researching online it seems like I probably have some leptin resistance, does anyone have any experience with this? I’m very overweight (BMI 52) so I think it’s not surprising, but I have no idea if mine is unusually high given my weight or as expected. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything I can particularly do about it except lose weight, which I’m already trying to do, but also it’s supposed to make eating a calorie deficit harder. If there’s anything I can do to improve my leptin sensitivity I’d like to try it.
