Do you have difficulty rising from a chair? - Did this problem develop quickly?

I have some suggestions you may like to consider.

Reducing your salt/sodium intake would help with this problem.
Eating plenty of fruit and (unsalted) vegetables would also help.

Make sure you are not short of vitamin D and calcium and magnesium. - You may like to consider taking one a day of those multivitamin/multimineral tablets to make up for any nutrients your body may be short of.

IF YOU ARE DIETING, GIVE IT UP! - DIETING WILL NOT MAKE YOU SLIMMER. - TO LOSE EXCESS WEIGHT YOU NEED TO GET RID OF EXCESS FLUID (FLUID RETENTION) IN YOUR BODY AND YOU CAN DO THIS MAINLY BY AVOIDING SALT AND SALTY FOOD. AVOIDING SALT IS SAFE AND HAS MANY OTHER BENEFITS FOR YOUR HEALTH TOO.

Obesity is NOT caused by overeating. It is caused by fluid retention, frequently because of taking prescribed medications, especially steroids such as prednisolone, prednisone and HRT, and anti-depressants such as amitriptyline. (When doctors prescribe drugs that cause sodium retention and water retention they should warn the patient not to eat salt, or food containing salt, while taking the medication. When they do not give this warning, the inevitable consequence is considerable weight gain.)

Read here about the groups of people who are vulnerable to salt: vulnerable groups

Obesity can be easily reduced by seriously reducing your salt/sodium intake and eating plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables. - It is important not to restrict calories. - 'Slimming' or 'dieting' is unnecessary, ineffective and often harmful.
