Weight struggles after metformin

Good afternoon,
Just a quick question...I was on 500mg of metformin for about 2 years when I was borderline pre-diabetic. As of December, my sugar levels were in a normal range and my doctor said I no longer needed to be on metformin if I didn't want to take it. However, he cautioned I might have trouble continuing to lose weight if I went off it.
As you can guess, my weight has been at a standstill since then - just curious if anyone else has had a similar issue? It may not be related at all, but I'm wondering if going off metformin has contributed to my difficulty losing more weight.
Any insight would be appreciated

Have you adjusted the amount to sugars you're taking in? You might need to lower it.0
