Hi thanks for using healthcaremagic....
It's nice to hear that you have lots of energy...Usually hypothyroidism causes lethargy..It means that you thyroid hormone is well replaced.
About your weight issue.Hypothyroidism causes weight gain not more than 5% of the whole body weight.Hence we can't blame on thyroid for over weight always.Usually the weight has to become normal when the thyroid function becomes normal.Genetics play an important role in overweight.
Along with regular exercise diet also has got an important role in weight reduction.
Follow a proper diet along with proper exercise.
Also check for thyroid profile periodically.Over replace to of thyroid hormone cause restlessness.
thank you....
