Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. It is better to get a thyroid function test done from a clinical lab in your area. Based on the results one can decide whether there is any problem associated with your thyroid gland. Less active thyroid (Hypothyroidism) does lead to weight gain. So please check the thyroid functions and then let us decide. Weight gain can also heppen because of excess intake of food particularly junk like bakery items, pastries, breads, puffs, burgers and taking a lot of colas. Plus eating more than required amount of routine food. Secomdly if no exercise is done that also adds to weight gain. Thanks.
