Losing weight on psych meds

25f 5'3 77kg

I started at 90kg in July 2023, and I've been able to maintain some weight loss, but I couldn't maintain my lowest 75kg, and I just can't get to my gw of 70kg. I take venlafaxine xr 225mg and flupentixol 2mg and I think that might be why. I already take 1500mg of Metformin for pcos, but I'm wondering if increasing my Metformin dose would help, or adding another med. I'm wary of coming off my antidepressant and antipsychotic BC they're life saving, I'm much more sane and functional than I ever used to be. It's just frustrating that I never had a weight problem before psych meds, but now it's an issue.
