My own body journey, if you like, with muscle gain and maintenance, ditto normal weight, is that it is closely linked with fueling up! ie that protein you mention, which makes sense. Eating so you have the energy to fuel the exercise is an intuitive and logical thing - yes?So if you have the fuel, and do the muscle activity/exercise - your muscle tone should remain and be retained, regardless of medication? I would think so...So you need to find out how the fuel and the muscle gain and maintenance works for you personally...Weight gain and loss, and weight maintenance is probably a more complex nuanced thing? And it's 'just' a case of going for it and again, seeing how it all pans out for you personally.  I would advise keeping a food journal, so you can closely see what foods work for you with your physique maintenance, and note what happens with the meds too - very important in your case, as you are trying to figure out what role the meds have on your body journey, and what is the food and activity? Is my understanding. Don't forget to include what you are drinking. Then you work out a regimen that really works for you. (Including those meds.)</blockquote>
