Don’t start any
Thyroid Medications after reading the comments
This
TSH level is not a alarming issue to start on Thyroid supplementation
Kindly get a FT3 FT4 Level done along with Fasting repeat TSH level to be sure it’s not related to thyroid
You can also get
Lipid Profile done with KFT And
LFT
First we can rule out non organic causes of increased weight like
• Increased calorie intake (more snacking,
sugar, junk food)
• Lack of exercise or sedentary routine
• Stress eating or emotional eating
• Alcohol or sugary drink consumption
Even a daily surplus of 500 kcal can cause ~2 kg/month gain.
It can also be due to Fluid Retention (Not True Fat Gain)
•
Kidney disease
• Heart failure
•
Liver disease (cirrhosis, low
albumin)
• Certain medications (e.g., steroids, NSAIDs, hormonal treatments)
If weight gain is sudden and associated with swelling (especially in legs or face), it’s likely fluid.
It can also be PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome (common in females)- Do you have Irregular periods, acne, hair growth, insulin resistance for which you can get
HbA1C and Serum
Testosterone levels and a Ultrasound of Abdomen and pelvis to see Fibroids and Consult a Gynecologist
To summarise
Check Diet/lifestyle- Obvious changes, sedentary habits
Then we will rule out - Hormonal cause (e.g., hypothyroidism, PCOS)- Symptoms + weight gain
Check for any Fluid retention like Puffy face, swollen legs
Then Medications- was there any recent drug changes or medications you have been taking
Last but not the least Mental health - Stress eating, binge eating these things can also be a cause
