Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As you mentioned you have hypothyroidism present, untreated thyroid problem lead to more weight gain. Continue your medicine and check your thyroid hormone levels if that is in control or not. Once its controlled, start a regular exercise to reduce weight. Follow a proper diet plan also.
I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you furher.
