What Can Cause Weight Gain And Low Energy Levels After A Total Thyroidectomy?

I had total thyroidectomy last October. I gained about 20 lbs. I do exercise and eating well. Also, I noticed that my energy level is very low specially in the afternoon. I feel like I double work out! What could be the possible reason for this?
