In that condition Generally weight gain will be there.other associated symptoms like tiredness,skin dryness,depression will be there because of lack thyroid gland secretion.
kindly consult a endocrinologist to treat your condition. Even though you follow proper lifestyle and diet habit, it wont help you. it need medication.
thank you
