Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

When was the last time you had a complete physical exam including a blood test to check your thyroid levels?

If the does of thyroxin is adequate, the next step is to look at your diet and level of physical activity. The best way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.

Regards,
Maryann
