Hi,

Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.

Diet and exercise don't have any effect on Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. If you decrease your weight significantly then you can decrease the dose.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you

Regards,

Dr Ajish TP [MD,DM]
