Hello,
I have gone carefully through your concern.
Weight gain is one of the symptoms of under active thyroid, but usually seen in severe stages.
Anyway, you should start treatment with levothyroxine (if hypothyroidism is confirmed with blood tests) and normally the symptoms will improve after the correction of the hormonal level in blood.
