lybrate-user, Ideally all symptoms are well controlled when TSH level is maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L. 0.14 mU/L is a lower than expected level. 100 mcg of thyroxine is not going to cause any side effects. With current TSH level you should be able to reduce weight provided regular exercise is done with diet restriction. Thanks.
