Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

High anti-TPO usually indicates a autoimmune thyroiditis. You have to continue the thyroid supplements and check for TSH levels. Once the TSH comes to a normal range you can continue taking the same dose, or else the dose has to be altered accordingly.

Regular exercise and a healthy diet and the medications will help reduce weight.

I hope this answered your query.
