Tsh is 6.4
I am 24 years old. My mother has thyroid since 15 years. I was a normal weight person but recently was gaining little weight. Checked my t3, t4, and tsh. T3, T4 was in normal range but my tsh was 6.4 One of my doctor told me that i am suffering from autoimmune thyroid and when i will lose my extra weight my tsh will be controlled . Should I start my medication or should i lose weight and check. Is it possible that by gaining weight our tsh increases?

You will need to go for a blood test called as anti microsomal antibody. Its results will help us decide whether you will need treatment.
A rise in tsh can cause a bit of weight gain, although not necessarily always. You should aim for weight loss by diet and exercise only.
