In my personal experience, I’ve lost 80 lbs, I had been overweight since the age of 10. Put it on, didn’t know why, I was active and didn’t eat much. Struggled and continued to gain weight for two more decades. Finally found out I suffer multiple autoimmune disorders including one that destroyed my thyroid. My health personally made it difficult for me to lose weight or to have energy. During the covid lockdowns I began eating more mindfully and walking and exercising. Finally lost the weight but still struggle to lose the belly fat, which I’m not sure why I can’t get rid of it but I’ve had doctors, nutritionist, and personal trainers and I think some people hold excess weight bc of genes or an undiagnosed health issue.
