15 and 300 lbs

I’m 15, female, 5’5”, and 300 pounds. It really worries me and I’ve tried a lot of things, please, I just need advice.

In my family genetics there is a series of diabetes and thyroid deceases and cancer, due to this I would have tests done once a year. I was an average weight child, but when I was ten I started rapidly gaining weight, I did my yearly test, and it turns out I had developed a thyroid disease.

I’ve been to physicians about this and each time they just tell me to portion control, but the thing is I do portion control, it’s just because of my thyroid my body took food differently.

The good news is my thyroid has gone back to normal and I have reversed the thyroid disease, but because of it I’m stuck with all this extra weight.

I have sleep apnea because of all the extra weight, and I can’t walk more than 20 feet without getting winded. I have muscle cramps in my knees, back, and neck because of how heavy I am.

I’m just so afraid I’m gonna die young, I’m also on the verge of developing diabetes which right now I just don’t think I could handle.

I’ve tried so many things from dieting to exercise and even going to the gym. Reddit, please help me.
