Same thing here. Doctor put me on Metformin and said that it would help with weight loss and its not worked for me either.

Metformin helps with insulin resistance, allowing your body to better use the insulin it is producing...a by product of that being that we're less hungry so we'll eat less and lose weight.

However, I think in my case i'll often substitute "allowable" foods but still eat more calories/or bigger portion than I should, hence the weight lingers.

lmao I lost 2kg on Metformin before it occurred to my med team that I'm kinda slender and maybe a drug that causes weight loss is a bad idea

Met not only helps control my BG but I'm not hungry .. I eat because my meter say I should.
