Hi,
From history it seems that your hypothyroid is not controlled.
Consult Endocrinologist and get examined.
After hypothyroid controls, you will get reducing your weight.
Observe strict diet regimen.
Avoid fat, carbohydrates in your diet.
Do regular physical exercise like running, jogging, swimming for 30-40 minutes a day for 5 days in a week.
Avoid sedentary life.
Ok and take care.
