Brief Answer:
Since thyroid hormones are normal, thyroid is not the cause for her obesity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
I do appreciate your concerns for your doctor.
You have not mentioned what exactly was the Pap smear result. If there are concerns in the result, she needs to be regular with her follow ups. She must attend all follow ups advised by her doctor. This is extremely important.
If her thyroid levels are normal, then her thyroid nodules are not the cause for her obesity. Is the thyroid nodular swelling very huge? If the Endocrinologist is saying that the thyroid needs to be removed, then please consult Surgeon.
What is her BMI? Obesity and depression are inter related. If one is obese they tend to get depressed. With depression they start over eating. This is a vicious cycle and needs to be broken.
Do consult dietician. You and she can together join gym. Exercises will not only help reduce weight but they also elate once mood.
I hope I have answered your concerns. If you have any further queries, do write to me through Healthcare Magic. I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
Evaluation by endocrinologist for any other cause for obesity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Is your daughter obese or morbidly obese? Your daughter is doing all the right things. Despite that if she is gaining weight, she needs to be thoroughly evaluated by endocrinologist to find out if there is any other cause for obesity ( PCOD, adrenal disease etc).
If there is no cause found, then she must discuss with her dietician. Probably she needs to further cut down on her calories and increase the exercises.
As regards her thyroid condition, please follow surgeons advise.
I also advise her to practice safe sex ( use condoms).
I hope this helps.
