Your TSH levels are pretty high. TSH levels up when there is decreased T3 and T4(active thyroid hormone) which means you are having hypothyroidism( less active thyroid) which needs supplementation.Usually hypothyroid patients gain weight.So I suggest you to get evaluated for losing your weight.You will have to get the thyroid profile in the follow up visits on consultation with your doctor to check whether TSH levels revert.Hope I have answered your question.
