Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
How did you decide it's hyperthyroidism with just TSH?
Where is T3 and T4?
And what other test have you done?
And why are you not taking any medicines for hyperthyroidism?
Go consult a endocrinologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.

First be clear weight gain or loss is never due to Hypo/hyper thyroidism...there may be other factors causing it.You need to exercise & also need to address any other comorbid conditions.
