Won’t you be able to get credit for your A-levels in Maths, German and English thereby freeing up some major/elective class space to manage your philosophy classes?

You seem to have left out the volunteer and work shadowing you’ll need to get in order to be admitted to med school regardless of academics.

I guess you could have a 2 pronged attack. Once you know your college, map out the classes you’d choose to take if you were 100% on either career. Then try to take a courseload which would be acceptable to both in your Freshman year. Then, once you’re at college, get involved in any type of volunteering like the Red Cross or with people who are vulnerable (or start now if you can). Do it with a mind to learning about yourself and others and you won’t regret the time spent, even if you do choose to do the maths route.

Lastly, have you considered the possibility that colleges might be questioning why you’re not training in the UK since we have graduate entry courses now? Or the difficulties of getting your qualifications accepted should you want to work back in the UK? Just some things to think about.
