Hello,
Considering hypothyroid in mind the first thing we need to do is to get your Thyroid Function test done as early as possible.
Based on your report we can decide further line of treatment.
Only weight gain is not a symptom of Hypothyroidism it may be associated with a lot of more symptoms that u need to identify and isolate.
Next Steps
Consult your nearby ENT Surgeon if possible after doing the Thyroid Function Test.
