Hello,
The weight gain could be related to Methimazole. Anyway, I recommend some diet modifications (consulting with a dietitian will be necessary) and regular physical activity. It is also necessary checking again your thyroid hormone levels. In the meantime, I would also recommend taking Garcinia Cambogia supplements to help lose weigh naturally.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
