Hi..Thanks for using Healthcaremagic
Hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone) can cause weight gain..If you can tell your TSH ,it will be helpful.But the weight gain due to hypothyroidism is not more than 5% of the whole body weight.
Regular exercise and diet control can get rid of some weight.
please do routine check up before going for exercise...
thank you ....
