hELLO,
Good day.
You have provided a description of your ultrasound of thyroid. It shows that there are few nodules in your thyroid. As per the description, they do not sound dangerous. However, a needle test ( FNAC) is required to evaluate it further. This alone can not cause weight gain. What does your thyroid blood test show? If it shows hypothyroidism, that can cause some weight gain
