Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this weight gain that you have reported. You symptoms are suggestive of hypothyroidism. I will suggest that you get your thyroid gland evaluated. A quick TSH level would shed ore light on this. Talk to your doctor about this and he would set the ball rolling. Other symptoms include dry skin, constipation, feeling cold, fatigue, etc.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
