Hi,
Your problem seems to be unrelated to hypothyroidism.
As far as weight loss is concerned, lifestyle interventions in the form of diet control and exercise will help. It needs to be determined, by proper history and examination whether you need drugs for weight control or not.
For gaseous distension, again you might need dietary modifications, like avoidance of spicy and oily foods. If these don't help, you should see a gastroenterologist.
Hope it helps...
