Hello,
When overactive thyroid (Graves' disease) is corrected, you will get back to the previous weight you had, so you will regain the lost kg.
To lose weight you need to combine diet with physical activity.
So you need to see a dietitian probably.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mirjeta Guni, Endocrinologist
