Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Not significantly. You will need a diet modification and exercise to reduce weight.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) shows that you are morbidly obese. Hypothyroidism alone cannot contribute to this situation. Correction of hypothyroidism, regular exercise and a customized diet plan would definitely help to reduce your weight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thank you.
