Hi,
For weight gain, a balanced diet and strength training are key and taking Ensure alone is not sufficient. For high TSH, please get anti-TPO and anti-thyroid peroxidase ab. If it is positive, you need treatment with thyroxine. Get a complete master health check to know of any issues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
