Hypothyroidism but underweight

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

Hello I'm and a 23 year old diagnosed with hypothyroidism two years ago when a gp doing routine blood work noticed my tsh was 18. I have been on levothyroxine eveer since but losing weight. Currently I'm 5'2 and barely 90lbs. I was 103 before. I am taking multivitamines, drinking protein. Shakes and ensures but can't keep weigh on. I read this could be an adrenal problem. Should I look into that. My doc only covers the basic t3, t4, and tsh. Should I be looking for something else.
