Hello, Thanks for the query.
If you are on treatment for hypothyroidism with Levothyroxine, then TSH should be maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L (TSH number mentioned is 084 is 84 mU/L or 0.84 is not clear). If TSH is not in the recommended range then weight rduction is difficult. So please see that it is maintained in the above mentioned range. Plus for weight reduction along with exercise, there has to be a restricted diet, you will have cut about 500 calories from present intake then only weight can be reduced. If you want any further clarification please do come back.Thanks.
