Hello,
i read carefully your concern and understood your query.
Until now the only criteria to decide about the thyronorm dose is the TSH level.
If the TSH is corrected, it means that thyronorm has done its effect and there is no reason why to change it.
You should discuss with your treating physician to try to find another cause for the weight gain.
