HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Graves disease causes high level of thyroid hormone, which is associated with weight loss not gain.
You may need blood tests to clarify if you have graves or hypothyroidism.
If one of these is present then treatment should be started. If you are not happy with current management then you would need to find another doctor
I hope this helps
