Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your tsh level 0.05 while on methimazole I will suggest it is very low
Normal level is between 0.5-5.0 thus this has resulted in a condition called hypothyroidism and one of the features is excessive weight gain
However before you stop it it is advisable you seek Councelling from your physician
to prevent surge in the thyroid level
Regarding loosing weight I will you seek advise from a nutritional specialist in terms of dieting and please indulge in exercise activities
I hope this helps Regards
