You can follow a regular diet plan focused on reducing weight, try to bring some mobility in your routine by including exercises like brisk walking for 30 minutes and if possible you can even hit the gym.
Avoid eating goitrogenic foods like cabbage, broccoli, millets, soy. And get your thyroid levels tested again after 6 weeks.
You do not need to start medications if you currently are asymptomatic.

Get your Vitamin. D levels checked. And correct it with vit D and Calcium Supplementation in case of Deficiency.
This TSH level does not need immediate treatment / correction with levothyroxin, if you dont have any symptoms , or unless you are trying to concieve.
Before starting Levothyroxin, do the above along with lifestyle changes like dietary changes, Yoga/ exercise and regulating your sleep . Then get a repeat Thyroid profile after 4-6 weeks.

It seems you don't want to take medicines, then first go for a complete serum Thyroid profile blood tests ( free T3, Free T4 and TSH also, anti TPO).
If these values are within normal range, you should focus on
1. Losing weight - till your BMI lies within normal range.
2.Avoid oily and fast food
3. Workout for 30 mins daily in the morning and evening.( Stick to this strictly)

**Specialist Doctor's Response:**
**Re: Hypothyroidism Management & Natural Support**
Dear Patient,
Your TSH level of **5.95 mIU/L** indicates **subclinical or mild hypothyroidism**, and Euthyrox (levothyroxine) is appropriately prescribed to normalize thyroid function. While natural remedies can *support* thyroid health, they **cannot replace prescribed medication**. Here’s how to complement your treatment safely:
---
### **Natural Support Strategies**
1. **Dietary Adjustments**:
- **Selenium**: Brazil nuts (2–3/day), eggs, fish (supports thyroid hormone conversion).
- **Zinc**: Pumpkin seeds, lentils, chickpeas (aids hormone production).
- **Iodine**: Use **iodized salt in moderation** (excess worsens thyroid issues).
- **Avoid**: Excess raw cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale), soy, and gluten (if sensitive).
2. **Lifestyle Modifications**:
- **Stress Management**: Yoga/meditation (chronic stress disrupts thyroid function).
- **Sleep Hygiene**: Aim for 7–8 hours nightly (poor sleep worsens fatigue).
3. **Supplements (If Deficient)**:
- **Vitamin D3**: Low levels are common in hypothyroidism.
- **Omega-3s**: Reduces inflammation (flaxseeds, walnuts).
---
### **Critical Notes**:
- **Do NOT stop Euthyrox**: Untreated hypothyroidism risks heart issues, infertility, and severe fatigue.
- **Monitor TSH**: Repeat tests every 6–8 weeks until levels stabilize (target: 1–2.5 mIU/L).
---
### **Consultation Recommended**:
To tailor these strategies to your needs (e.g., check for deficiencies, adjust diet), **schedule a consultation**.
