My personal experience with metformin was it didn't cause weight loss, until I deliberately also tried diet (< 100 g net carbs per day) and exercise (~4 miles walking/day). That ended up being much easier to stick to than I had previously found it to be, and has caused me to slowly but steadily lose 25 pounds since May.

That reads to me that you have lost weight due to a combination of diet and exercise. Not necessarily metformin.

  The key point was that it was very weirdly easy, compared to previous efforts, and I credit metformin (1000 mg/day) for that.
