Hi Poonam,
You need a prescription of thyroid hormone supplement. Your doctor would have prescribed the same for you.
Weight gain is a symptom of hypothyroidism. Once your hypothyroidism is adequately treated, your weight will also reduce.
Meanwhile, you can make some healthy lifestyle changes such as:
Avoid fatty, oily food
Include lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet
Avoid excess sweets
Exercise daily (brisk walking, yoga)
