Hello and thanks for writing in at HCM
I am General and Family Physician and read your mail in detail. According to the symptoms you have explained in your mail it seems that you are suffering from Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism. Needs to be investigated in detail for other causes also like Fibroid uterus, Anxiety and arthritis. Get your Thyroid function test and USG abdomen done as early as possible and consult your physician for further investigation and treatment.
To loose weight try to take less fatty and oily diet, do not take full stomach diet and do regular exercise at least for one hour daily.
Best Wishes
