Hi,
Low thyroid hormones cause weight gain. So control of low thyroid hormones by proper supplementation is the first thing to do while planning for weight reduction. Please be in touch with your endocrinologist.
Once the blood report. (of TSH) comes to normal addition of routine measures of weight loss would work.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
