Evolution will continue. It just won't be heavily influenced by our ability to survive in the natural world.

One evolutionarily change I predict is that certain forms of birth control will become less effective over the next generations. Hormonal birth control isn't 100% effective and there's probably a genetic component to that. So the women for whom birth control doesn't work as well will tend to have more offspring and pass those traits on.

Obesity as well, since birth control is less effective on women who are very heavy.

Perhaps, but obesity also causes infertility. So it's harder to predict how humans will evolve for that trait.
