Weight Gain, Peeling Finger And Toenails, Irritable, Memory Loss. Other Tests?

I am 42 years old, approx. 20 pounds overweight and I'm exhausted ALL the time. I gain weight very easily (without changing my diet), recently started having peeling finger and toe nails, am very irritable all the time and also have a terrible memory and difficulty recalling the names of common words in conversations (such as a "printer" "spoon", etc.) when referring to them. I had my thyroid levels tested and my TSH is 1.7 and my T4 is 1.1 which the doctor said is normal. Are there other tests I should have? I found out that my vitamin D levels were very low and a couple weeks ago I started taking prescription vitamin D (one pill a week), but I haven't noticed much of a change yet. Not sure if this could be the problem?
