You need to reduce the dose as already advised by your physician as your Serum TSH level is getting lower. Dose needs to be adjusted according to TSH level & not according to weigh my changes otherwise you will have adverse effects due to overdosage. Your increasing weight is probably due to your lifestyle & dietary habits and you need to do dietary changes and exercise regularly or walk briskly for 30mins daily 5 days a week. Avoid oily and junk food.
