Help!

I’m 4 months into my Tamoxifen course ( it will be for 5 years altogether)and in spite of eating sensibly and exercising (what hard work is that!) the weight I put on during chemo hasn’t even started to move - in fact I’m putting weight on! Has anyone tried taking an iodine supplement to help perk up their metabolism? Does anyone know if this is safe to try?
