Hi dear...you have the few symptoms of hypothyroidism such as weight gain, weakness, fatigue, facial changes plus elevated TSH..however you should also do following investigation for better evolution such as free T3 and free T4, lipid and sugar in fasting state..then after consultation you can start levothyroxine at low dose to treat hypothyroidism.
Hope this will help you
Thanks and regards
