Hello,
I would suggest you visit your doctor . You will need a thyroid function test to see whether low thyroid hormone levels are responsible for your constipation and weight gain. You will also need an osmotic laxative for your constipation which you will need to take on a regular basis foa am nonth.
Hope this helps
