Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hyperthyroidism. In hyperthyroidism there is weight loss. Weight gain is seen in hypothyroidism.

If you are taking medicine for hyperthyroidism then it can leads to drug induced hypothyroidism.

You should check your T3, T4 and TSH level and then take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. if you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
