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

You have hyperthyroidism and that is the reasons for your weight loss.You need to increase the dosages of your drug. Maintain your TSH in normal range. Once your thyroid hormones comes under control you will gain weight.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.
I will be happy to answer.
