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.
