Hi,

The tiredness and fatigue is due to hypothyroidism, more over the obesity is also a major issue.

Here is what you need to do to come back to normal life.
1) Get thyroid hormone substitute to treat hypothyrodism.
2) Try to reduce weight.
3) control your diet
4) do physical exercise
5) reduce salt intake.

Thanks for query, hope it helps.
