First we have to classify what type of constipation you have three major types:
A. Functional (most common)
B. Slow Transit Constipation
C. Pelvic Floor Dyssynergia (Outlet obstruction)
Do you have any of this - Blood in stool,
• Weight loss
• Severe abdominal pain
• Anemia
• Family history of colon cancer
• Constipation suddenly appearing in adulthood
Depending upon this there are some basic blood investigations to be done . We have to diagnose what is causing your constipation , need detailed history.

Chronic constipation that does not improve with diet often needs medical evaluation.
• Long-term laxative use can sometimes worsen bowel dependency.
Advise to Increase water intake (2.5–3 L/day).Continue high-fiber diet but add soluble fiber like psyllium husk at night.Maintain regular physical activity and fixed toilet timing (especially after breakfast).
Avoid frequent stimulant laxatives.
Medical evaluation needed:
Thyroid function test
Blood sugar
Serum calcium
Colon evaluation if symptoms persist
creening for IBS or slow-transit constipation
Health Tips
Since the problem is persistent despite diet changes, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and long-term management.

You need to change your dietary habits and lifestyle modifications. Drink plenty of water and do daily excercise. Also take probiotics and isabgol before sleep.its increase fibers naturally.
