Protein supplements with exercises

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

To gain weight you should take more calories than your required levels( amount consumed for your daily activity) Which can be calculated based on your energy expenditure at work and home.

Nutrigain is a type of protein supplement, which do helps to gain weight , but you need to muscle strengthening exercises along with protein supplement to improve your muscle mass. Along with protein supplement you should continue to take healthy regular diet.
Your TSH level is with in normal range , you can continue same dose of thyroid supplement.

If your weight is not improving with protein supplement , better to get evaluated for malabsorption disorders.

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
