Please get your complete thyroid function tests which is rarely done by conventional doctors since you say you are losing weight inspite of having normal thyroid harmones levels.
Do
TSH ,
FREE T4
FREE T3 ,
REVERSE T3 ,
REVERSE T4
TPO and TG antibody titre before starting any medication for Hypothyroidism .
Do also a ULTRASOUND OF YOUR THYROID
Please do the right tests and go to the right doctor to get the right treatment .
if all these tests are normal and you are losing weight you have to rule out diabetes , tuberculosis and occult Malignancy.
