Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.

One of the most common side effects of the contraceptive pills, is weight gain.
It happens usually if your take it for a long time (at least 3 months), and the weight is back to normal after stopping the contracetpive pills.

As you mentioned, you have thyroid problems too, which you didn't specify (over or underactive).
Untreated under active thyroid can also be a cause of weight gain.
So, for a more professional opinion, do not hesitate to attach the results.
