Brief Answer:
Get your thyroid profile checked

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. I would insist you to repeat your thyroid profile and to upload the reports. Possibly the present dose is not adequate and dose adjustment is required. I can guide you after checking the report.

Apart from medication it is important to reduce the total dietary energy intake in form of food and to increase the energy expenditure through regular exercise.

I would await your response.

Regards
