HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Low levels of thyroid hormone can cause weight gain. If your levels are low it would be best to use thyroid hormone replacement.
Thyroid hormone is important not just in weight management but plays a part in different functions of the body.
There are multivitamins that may help improve energy levels.
In addition to thyroid hormone replacement if needed, consulting a nutritionist or weight loss doctor may help.
I hope this helps
