It looks like subclinical hypothyroidism. You can repeat TSH after 6-8 weeks. If TSH is still high then you might require levothyroxine treatment. Yes menstrual irregularities and weight gain could be due to hypothyroidism. You can consult any diabetologist or endocrinologist for further advice and treatment. Diet and regular exercise plays key role in weight loss.
