Khusiji, You have grade 1 obesity with a BMI of 33.71 kgs/M2, meaning you are having almost 27 kgs extra weight. If hypothyroidism is not in control, then weight reduction is difficult. When on treatment TSH should be between 3 to 4 mU/L, to be free from all symptoms. So please check the level and if it is high then Thyroxine dosage may have to be increased. Then check TSH after 6 weeks, to see if desired levels are achieved. Thanks.
