Anxiety and hormonal imbalances are next common causes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It's advisable to screen yourself for Thyroid profile again. Latest value is required. It's advisable to keep a watch on TSH value and see that it's levels doesn't decrease beyond normal limits.
Other possibilities include Tremor due to Anxiety which can improve with medications like anxiolytic and beta blockers.
Another important condition to be ruled is low blood sugar levels and conditions associated with excessive catecholamine states like adrenal gland disorders.
An ultrasound abdomen may provide a clue to it.
Last but not the least complete Neurological examination is required to rule out organic brain causes.

Brief Answer:
Compressive spine disease to be ruled
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Truncal obesity in your case could be directly related to birth control pills and hypothyroid state.
Considering the pins and needles sensation in the extremities in association with backpain.
The possibility of a compressive spine disease has to be considered as well. For this, an MRI spine would be considered.
I generally prescribe oral medications of Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin to my patients with such symptoms.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to you.
Hope I have answered your query.
