Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of continuing a gaining weight and constipation problem that may be because of hypothyroidism problem..

Lack of high fiber foods and water intake in diet also cause constipation problem.

Consult a gastroenterologist for further treatment.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems..
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
