Could Frequent Menstruation Be The Symptom Of Menopause Or Hypothyroidism?

How do I know if I am entering menopause or if I have hypothyroidism? I just had my period a week ago and it started again today, I ve always been pretty regular. I ve also noticed slow weight gain and difficulty getting rid of the gain. I m very active and eat moderately clean. Im also tired and forgetful lately, but I work many hours and in different settings throughout the day. I m 45yrs old.
