Hi,
Welcom to Healthcaremagic.com
Going through your query I find you have hypothyroidism (low plasma thyroid level) . Because of the same reason you must have gained weight.
Before starting thyroid supplements you need to visit a physician to know how much dosage will be required in your case. So don't start to take of your own.
Second thing hypothyroidism causes decrease in BMR which leads to weight gain, therefore, you need to increase your BMR. You can raise it by
... Take small amount of food(calories) in your meals but have multiple meals I.e, instead of taking too many calories at one time break it into many.
.... Regular exercise, it will help too.
Hope my opinion will help you.
Regards
