Hello I just read your query about your weight loss and would like to say that this is because of your hyperthyroidism and smoking as well.
It takes some time to get Euthyroid that is why you still haven't gained weight inspite of treatment.
I would recommend that you stop smoking to help yourself.
Hope you find my advice of some benefit.Good luck.
