No Thyroid, no Gallbladder but struggling to build muscle

I'm 37, male and had two operations. One 2 years ago and the other last year.
Many without a thyroid told me that I will find it difficult from now on to lose weight. Many without a gallbladder told me the same.

It so happened to me that I had to have these two organs removed. After 2 years I noticed that I am losing weight and in order to maintain it I need to it A LOT ! By a lot I mean more than what my hunger asks for. I don't go easy on fat or carbs. My pre-existing muscles start to disappear together with body fat.
Before the operations many people noticed my physique and kept asking me if I visit the gym. I don't get this now anymore.

My thyroid hormones are very optimal and the only times that I have clay-colored stools ( because of no Gallbladder) is when I don't eat green salads together with my meals.

My B12 and Vitamin D were really low but after therapy went back to normal. I keep taking some multivitamin just in case. The Gastroenterologist told me that if it was a tapeworm I would never be able to raise this B12 so we didn't check.

I did this celiac test and it was negative. I even went to a diabetologist and run some blood tests for 2 days and told me it's very optimal.

Of course I never skip meals. Anyone with same experience ? How do you maintain your muscles or body weight without thyroid or gallbladder ?
