Most probably the dose of Eltroxin that you are taking is not adequate.
Please get your Thyroid profile done and consult a General Physician.
The basic cause of gaining weight is a differential between the intake of calories and the energy utilised.
You should consult a Dietitian or join a Gym so that you can follow your own exercise schedule and control your diet.
