Hi,

It may be because your hypothyroidism is not properly controlled. I would suggest you to have a thyroid function test done and optimize your thyroxine dose.
If it is normal consult a physician to look for other causes like diabetes, dyslipidemia, vitamin D deficiency etc

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

With warm regards,
