How big is this koi your talking about? I'd imagine if it's already 3 years old that he's got some size to him.

The Koi is still alive and not laying on it's side to me that's good. Only advice I can give is keep the water parameters stable.

He goes to lay on his side but he corrects himself so that he isn't, how long do meds and water changes take to work normally

Tbh I don't won't to recommend anymore meds because I feel the water changes are safe for now. I can't give a definite time things will improve. I also tagged a very experienced member who breeds Koi and Goldfish species hopefully she chimes in.

Yeah I would say it's time fore an upgrade in tank size. 125 is just too small for a koi that big. Granted I would prioritize getting it all feeling well again first before upgrading.
