Hello and welcome!
Usually 50 mcg of levothyroxine is the starting dose, but having into consideration your body weight and the TSH level i would say it will be the appropriate dose.
After 6 weeks check the TSH again and it should be under 2.5 if you are planning for pregnancy.
Once you have a positive pregnancy test you should raise the dose by 30% and check the TSH every 4 weeks.
During pregnancy is very important to have normal TSH levels.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
