Weight gain with medication

Question

Asked for Male, 33 Years

Hi, I've been prescribed a medication of Thyrox 75, Thyropace, Orofer, Beplex Forte. I see a weight gain of 4 kgs (92 to 96) in two weeks of this medication. Would you suggest I alter/stop any of them? This medication was prescribed after my TSH was detected to be 0.07 while I was on Thyrox 100 medication earlier due to hypothyroidism. And my iron level was detected to be 39 mcg/dl.
