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

You are gaining weight. You may have hypothyroidism. You should check your T3, T4 and TSH level. Then take treatment accordingly. If you have hypothyroidism then you need thyroid supplement. Drugs like thyronorm or synthroid are useful. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
