Brief Answer:
Titrate dose to thyroid profile. Titrate lifestyle to age and target weight

Detailed Answer:
Dear ma'am,

It is very correct that hypothyroidism causes weight gain, due to water retention but correct balance, if maintained, weight remains the issue of lifestyle. Lifestyle ie diet and exercise.

As per thyroid but as per your age and your weight and BMI.

Ideal weight is height - 100 in cm. BMI 26 is overweight for Asians.
So, the crux, increase the dose and maintain thyroid profile.

Avoid high-calorie food.
Exercise 45 minutes daily.
Follow this rule always.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards!
