Help me to loose weight

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi, I am 50 years old and have been taking synthirod for an underactive thyroid for about 20 years. Slowly I have been gaining wieght, no matter how much I exercise and watch what I eat I cannot loose wieght. Lately, it's gotten worse. Is there something extra that I can take to help me loose weight? I am getting very discouraged. Is there an extra supplement that I can take,I no longer have a physician as my doctor has retired and in Northern Ontario - it's very hard to find doctors. If there is something - a supplement or vitamin I can take to help with the underactiv thyroid and loose weight. Please help me. Discouraged and desperate Rita
