Stubborn weight - Post Recovery from Ovarian Cyst & Back Injury HNP

TL;DR: I have stubborn fat that won’t leave and I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t have any symptoms of hyperthyroidism or PCOS ?? What else should I consider or get checked for ??

—

March 2024–vomiting & fainting from 4cm cyst/terrible period, diagnosed @ ER

I had gained 12kg of inflammation in less than 3 weeks

February 2025 cyst is long gone;

Diagnosed with herniated disc likely caused by the sudden weight gain (had no idea about from constant American doctor gaslighting)

Physical therapy + light training ✅

November 2025 OBGYN says I have nothing bad showing up on imaging

December 2025

I’ve been doing normal, heavy training the last 6 weeks but …

No matter what I do ! My weight doesn’t go down !?

Before cyst - 67kg

During cyst/back injury -86kg

During back injury - 78kg

Recovery/Now still 75kg !

^^I was 73-74kg for one month then gone back to 75kg

After 9 months of PT, & 6 months in the gym—it’s just not adding up ???

It shouldn’t take 7 months for the scale to move, building muscle/losing fat has never been difficult for me so idk wtf it is

It’s going to be 2 years since this stupid shit started and I just want to feel normal, back to how I was.

Sure I ~look~ ok but I want my ab lines and self esteem back.
