Hello

Welcome to health care magic.

I have read your question completely and understand your concerns.

You could take a thyroid profile test as you are having weight. It is a blood test and will check TSH, T3 and T4 levels which are your thyroid hormones.

Do you have any other symptoms- obesity around your tummy area, stretch marks, raised BP, tiredness, irregular periods etc? If so you could have a full hormonal profile down to rule out other hormonal imbalances.

I hope this answer has helped you

Thank you

Regards
