Can thyroid lead to weight gain

2018-09-11 03:56:30
I am a 21-year old female who was diagnosed with thyroid a week ago. I’ve always been on a heavier side and was just thinking whether thyroid weight gain is possible? I have maintained a healthy eating plan throughout my life and still didn’t observe any significant changes. So can the reason for this be my thyroid?
