You have problem of constipation with weight gain .In hypothyroidism there is chanses of constipation is more.That relived by diarrhea.

So check your thyroid hormone leval. In hypothyroidism reduce thyroxin level. Metabolic activity become low so it cause constipation.

Some endocrine dysfunction like diabetes also cause constipation. So check your blood sugar level.

Any intestinal obstruction may cause constipation problem.
Some metabolic disorder may cause this type of problems.

Colonoscopy helpful for further diagnosis.
Barium x ray helpful in severe constipation case.
