consistent weight gain despite efforts at diet and excercise

hello, i got diagnosed with lipedema stage 1 earlier this summer and have been trying to adjust and following conservative treatments. i wear compression every day, have been trying to go the gym more or less consistently (a lot of travelling so it’s been difficult to stay super consistent), and am trying to adjust my diet to be more anti-inflammatory and calory deficient, but it only seems like i have been gaining weight since my diagnosis whenever i weigh myself. i am also on slinda (a progesterone pill), which i believe may have triggered my lipedema to progress to noticable levels (i may have to contact my doctor and ask about it). i will say, i mostly have been weighing myself at the gym post workout, which i know is not ideal, but it is the only scale i have access to ad the one i just bought for myself just does not work.
the main thing i am struggling is my diet, as i really struggle with/straight up don’t like most fruits/veggies/salads, although i know they are key to not only anti-inflammatory diets, but calory deficient diets in general. does anyone have any suggestions or ideas, even if it is along the lines of suck it up and learn to enjoy more veggies?
thank you!
