Hello,
According to us you are suffering from hyperthyroidism not Hypothyroidism.
If you are not going to treat hyperthyroidism, insprit of having mass gainer you will not gain weight.
So, my opinion is that if you want to gain weight first treat the cause means thyroid.

You need to correct your thyroid condition first. Hypothyroidism slows down metabolism.

You don't have to go for supplements yet. Take iodine rich foods like strawberries, coconut, pineapple, potatoes, spinach and other starchy foods. For weight gain do strength exercises. You don't have to do cardios.
