hi,
if i had a patient like you i would advise full thyroid profile to be repeated on empty stomach after 12 hrs of fasting along with thyroid antibodies and a thyroid scan to finally diagnose your thyroid status, if i find anything abnormal in said tests i would start with low dose of thyroxine increasing gradually to optimum level,weight is not solely dependent on thyroid status. hope i have answered your question,if any querry pl write again,thanks.
