Normal thyroid function tests with 62.5 mcg thyronorm indicates that the dose is adequate.Your symptoms could be due to non thyroid issues.Get your serum iron profile, vitamin d,b 12, liver function tests and consult a physician in your area for appropriate management

I think you need to get a proper evaluation done before starting on any random medicinal supplements. Atleast basic work up such a CBC, KFT, S. Proteins etc need to be done.

Check ur vitamin D, B12 and Iron levels also. Then we can know what's the reason for hairfall, constipation. Weight gain can be due to stress too. Check that too.

I get what you’re saying — it’s frustrating when reports are “normal” but symptoms don’t improve. Since your TSH/T3/T4 are controlled on Thyronorm 62.5, the dose itself is likely fine. Hair fall, constipation, and weight gain in this situation are very commonly due to non-thyroid causes, not medicine failure.
Next Steps
Check Ferritin (iron stores), Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and lipid profile • Ensure adequate protein intake (often missed despite regular walking) • Take thyroxine empty stomach, same time daily, no calcium/iron within 4 hrs • Add strength training 2–3×/week along with walking (important for weight loss in hypothyroid)
Health Tips
Supplements shouldn’t be guessed — they need to match deficiencies, otherwise results stay poor. If you want, we can quickly review your diet, reports, and symptoms together and fine-tune supplements and lifestyle so you actually start seeing changes instead of just “normal reports.”

Since your TSH, T3 and T4 levels are within normal range on Thyronorm 62.5, your thyroid dose appears adequate. However, symptoms like hair fall, constipation, and weight gain can still occur due to other common deficiencies and lifestyle factors. Important points: These symptoms are not always due to thyroid alone Very commonly associated causes are iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, and low protein intake Recommended investigations: Hemoglobin Iron profile (serum ferritin) Vitamin D Vitamin B12 Supplements that may help (after testing): Vitamin D (if low) Vitamin B12 (if low) Iron supplements only if deficiency is confirmed
Next Steps
Adequate daily protein intake Continue regular walking Add strength training 3–4 days/week along with walking High-fiber diet for constipation (fruits, vegetables, oats, salads) Increase protein: eggs, dal, paneer, curd, nuts, seeds Drink enough water Avoid excess junk food, sugar, and refined carbs Take Thyronorm early morning on empty stomach
Health Tips
Avoid tea, coffee, milk, calcium, or iron for at least 45–60 minutes after tablet If symptoms persist despite normal reports, dose adjustment or evaluation for metabolic causes.

Even with normal TSH, T3, T4 on Thyronorm 62.5 mcg, many people with hypothyroidism still have persistent symptoms (hair fall, constipation, weight gain) because: • Optimal TSH for symptom relief is often 0.5–2.0–2.5 (not just “normal”) • Poor T4 → T3 conversion • Nutrient deficiencies (common in long-standing hypothyroidism) • Other factors (insulin resistance, inflammation, gut issues) Your 1.5 hr daily walk is excellent, but at 70 kg symptoms persist → need targeted tweaks.
Next Steps
• Discuss with your endocrinologist: • Check Free T3 + Reverse T3 (not just total) • Repeat full thyroid panel + Ferritin, Vitamin D, B12, Selenium, Zinc • Consider small dose increase (to 75 mcg) or trial of T3 addition (very low dose liothyronine) if conversion is poor • Do not start supplements or change Thyronorm dose yourself — get bloodwork first.
Health Tips
• Iron/Ferritin — if low → gentle iron + vitamin C (hair fall & fatigue improve fast) • Vitamin D — 2000–4000 IU/day if low (very common) • Selenium — 100–200 mcg/day (supports T4→T3 conversion; Brazil nuts 2–3/day = natural source) • Zinc — 15–30 mg/day if low (hair & thyroid support) • Magnesium — 300–400 mg/day (helps constipation & muscle cramps) • Probiotics — good gut health improves constipation & absorption • Lifestyle: • Add strength training 2–3×/week (builds muscle → better metabolism) • Eat 25–30 g fiber/day + 1.5–2 L water • Reduce refined carbs/sugar (helps weight & insulin sensitivity) • Sleep 7–8 hrs (thyroid hates poor sleep) Start small changes now (fiber, water, sleep, magnesium if no kidney issue). For personalized supplement doses & thyroid adjustment, please consult with me online with your latest reports — I can guide better. Take care

Based on your note,you are already on an appropriate dose of Thyronorm and since your TSH, T3 and T4 are normal, your thyroid levels are well controlled but it’s better to get checked for free T3&free T4. The symptoms you are experiencing—hair fall, constipation and weight gain—are very common which often may not be due to the thyroid itself. 1)Take Thyronorm in a correct way: take it early morning on an empty stomach with plain water, wait at least 45–60 minutes before tea, coffee or breakfast, and keep a 4-hour gap from calcium, iron, multivitamins. 2) Check for common deficiencies which can cause the same symptoms—serum ferritin (iron stores), vitamin B12, vitamin D and CBC—because hair fall with normal thyroid reports is very often due to low iron or vitamin deficiencies, take supplements only if these values are low. 3)You can continue walking. 4) Get yourself checked for PCOS/PCOD. 5)Eat a balanced diet and use only iodized salt. 6)Ensure good sleep and stress control, as stress affects thyroid hormone action. As of now there is no need to increase your Thyronorm dose . There is a high chance that your symptoms will improve , once deficiencies are corrected over few months without changing your thyroid dose.
