Hello,
Thank you for your query.

I am something confused.
You did not mention your height.
60 kg is not a excess weight of a 23 yrs old person.
The common features of hypothyroidism are weight gain,constipation,voice change etc.
Stria is not a feature of hypothyroidism.
But cushing syndrome is a possibility.

You may consult your doctor if you are facing problem.
Take care.
