Hi,
Since your TSH is low and T4 is high, you need to decrease the dose of thyroxine probably to 75 mcg/day and have your thyroid function checked after 2 months. The weight gain may not be related to your thyroid with the present results.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
