if t&tsh levels are normal with treatment with levothyroxine,your weight is to be corrected by less than 1year(usuall by few months)...if still not loosing weight,have to rule out other causes...anyhow,try diet management and lifestyle modifications...hope you dont have family history of obesity in first degree relatives.
