Hello, thanks for the query. There are quite a few protein supplements available giving 60 % to 80 % proteins per 100 g of powder. There are a few with minimal carbs & a few with nil carbs, you can search and select based on your needs. Check Amazon. Your weight is more compared to ideal body weight (65 kgs). Most important is keep TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L That is necessary. Otherwise weight will keep increasing. Exercise ;& planned diet are very important. Thanks.

Hello Shashank! You can surely include non Soy proteins. You can also start Ayurvedic treatment for Hypothyroidism as it helps to cure the problem permanently. Follow Yoga for Hypothyroidism for atleast 15 minutes a day. You can check that on YouTube.
