Good day,
If you have had hashimoto's thyroiditis and if antibodies are positive, there is a high likelyhood of developing hypothyroidism in the future. I noted your concern of weight gain. But if the TSH is normal, we can not prescribe Thyroxine yet. You may have to look at other causes of weight gain apart from hypothyroidism.
