Hi, you are a female aged 45 , and gained weight suddenly, thyroid patient wont get weight suddenly, it must be due to the liver problem, the cause may be opiates, or fatty foods, alcohol, or previous history of hepatitis.
I advise you to consult a gastro enterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Avoid taking fats, oily foods, alcohol etc. Thank you.
