General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello! Do you have any other symptoms. Have you changed your way of eating. You can do a thyroid test: TSH(thyroid stimulating hormone) and fT4( free T4), because hypothyroidism makes your metabolism slow, and as a consequence you gain weight. Try to eat a high protein diet with cheese, egg, cottage cheese, milk chicken, fish and less carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cookies, spaghetti, desserts.
Best regards.
