Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. It is clear that with earlier dosage of Levothyroxine your TSH in turn hypothyroidism was not at all in control. That is probably the (could be the main reason) for gaining excess weight. Now with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 37 .5 kgs/Sq meter) (Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter) you have an excess of over 34 kgs. Your ideal body weight should be about 56 kgs. Please understand when TSH is high or when Hypothyroidism is not well controlled weight gain is always there, plus efforts to reduce weight will not help. Therefore, primary aim is to achieve a strict TSH control (as it is now). Then take a restricted diet, avoid deep fried foods, colas, bakery items, junk foods, foods made from maida. Take a healthy diet that matches your caloric need based on ideal body weight (56 kgs). Plus you will have to do regular exercise of over 1 hour every day. Aim is to reduce about 2 kgs per moth. Even if you reduce about 5 to 8 % of present weight, you will feel much better. If you have any questions please do come back. Continue the present dosage of Levothyroxne. Thanks.
