Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Your weight gain might be due to hypothyroidism as ou are not taking the tablet.

Gastric bloating may be related to hypothyroidism or vitamin B12 deficiency, or depression or stomach pathology.

You should consult endocrinologist for detailed evaluation and treatment. Doctor may advise you to do fresh blood investigations for thyroid function, vitamin B12 level etc.Doctor may advise to restart medication.

For depression, you should consult psychiatrist. Doctor may advise you anti depressant drug like desvenlafaxine or escitalopram or duloxetine.

I hope it will help you.

Thanks.
