Hello,
Yes, they both are responsible for weight gain or difficulty in loosing weight.
You should not left the under active thyroid untreated. It is easily corrected.
If you are levothyroxine treatment and the hormonal level is within the normal ranges than the thyroid is not considered under active any more.
So, you can give some more detailes and i will be in disposal to help you further.
Kind regards,
