Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If this is the thyroid dysfunction and you are taking medicine for that so the dose of the medicine needs to be adjusted or increases from time to time now for the clinical effects it takes bit long time and some time the symptoms that you have like weight gain and hair fall may not be due to thyroid disease but it could be due to something else. If the TSH value and other parameters are normal then it is nothing to worry
Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you any further.
