Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The weight gain is not due to under active thyroid. You need to check cortisol level to rule out Cushing's disease (another cause of weight gain).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
