Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM.
If its low thyroid then you will gain more weight, nevertheless checking your thyroid function doing TSH, T3, T4 blood test will enable your doctor to have a proper diagnosis.
for adding weight eating a balanced diet, and working out are very helpful, first talk to your doctor and get a proper physical examination make sure nothing else is going wrong.
