Better to increase to 75 mcg then repeat thyroid profile after 8 weeks.
Note: The timing of the medicine is the most important thing here. Take it early in the morning and avoid eating anything , not even tea 1-1.5 hours post intake.
Next Steps
Take your medicine on time
Look for other symptoms like increased fatigue.

Your TSH is elevated , so dose adjustment is needed, but it should be done gradually, not directly jumping to 100 mcg.
Usually we increase first, then recheck TSH after 8 weeks.
Sudden increase to 100 mcg may cause side effects like palpitations.Take tablet on empty stomach. No food for 45 mins after. Avoid calcium or iron near dose
Weight gain can be due to uncontrolled thyroid.
Better to adjust stepwise and monitor.
You can book a consultation with reports for proper dose planning 👍
