Hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic...
Hyperthyroidism can cause loss of weight..You have take anti-thyroid tablets
I suggest to start with a proper dose of 10-30mg/day and slowly taper off accordingly.
The present dose is not enough..

You can decrease the dose once the TSH values start increasing..
You have to take an Thyroid uptake scan
(Tc Uptake)
We can plan the dose according to the uptake.
we have to also make sure that there are no nodules

thank you.....
