Thank you for your query. I can understand your concern.
What you have mentioned , it seems that you have hypothyroidism .
You should not have stopped the medication on your own. Get your blood TSH, Free T3 , Free T4 tests done and start medications after consulting with your doctor.
Now coming to the weight gain. See , hypothyroidism itself causes weight gain and makes you feel lethargic. Along with this have a balanced diet with cereals , proteins . Have 3-4 fruits per day. Don't worry. With the treatment of your thyroid dysfunction you will start losing weight.
Have a nice day.
