Overdosing with thyroxine will not decrease weight .rather he is inviting side effects. Dose is adjusted on seeing Tsh response. U need to see an endocrinologist with all reports in person for dose adjustment and also evaluation for obesity. He also require a tailered diet and exercise schedule once other hormonal causes for obesity excluded
