Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Yes you can have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can cause weight gain. Or you are normal and your weight may increase due to good food.
Its better that you should go for T3, T4 and TSH level once. It will give you exact idea whether you have any thyroid problems or not. Then take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
