Brief Answer:
Kindly upload recent thyroid profile
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Weight gain can happen after taking Carbimazole. It is due to hypothyroidism due to over-treatment with carbimazole and is reversible on stopping the drug. It usually requires thyroid supplementation if the TSH is high.
However I need recent thyroid profile to confirm the cause. Kindly upload the same so that I am better able to help.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
