Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Unexplained weight increase at your age, point towards either, an under-active thyroid or, a daily calorie intake more than that is being burnt (due to lack of physical exercise or sedentary lifestyle).

Get your Thyroid Profile done. If Thyroid hormone deficiency is confirmed, Hormone replacement therapy will restore your health to normal.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
