Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that a TSH level is within the normal range if you are not already taking medicines for thyroid disorder. You should get your thyroid profile done again after one month and if it's still increasing you may have to take anti Hypothyroid drug. Meanwhile you should rule out other causes of weight gain like Diabetes. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
