I attended an interview and it went well.

I informed the interviewer that I resigned from my earlier job due to location constraint resulting in health issues. I also mentioned the specific health condition. So I am looking for opportunities in a relatively nearby locations.

Interviewer said : I am not convinced about your job change reason.

What should I reply here, can anyone suggest ??

PS : This post is just to have an idea from the responses of professionals to plan for a better answer.

In your future interviews, say I was impacted by layoff and keep a straight face.

If asked further, say some percentage was impacted. Full stop. There will be no further questions asked.

The only way to get a job in this economy is to confidently lie. By being honest, nobody is getting anything.

Tell the interviewer I am not her to convince you and I am stating real facts or real reason for job change.
This is only applicable if the reason holds true in your real life.
