Welcome to the forum, Amylumlee.

Can you post your recent thyroid results and ranges so members can check that you are optimally dosed on 125mcg? If you are undermedicated you will gain weight.

Your GP can do a blood test to tell whether you are peri or menopausal and can recommend remedies for dry vagina.

If you are optimally dosed then I would have adrenals checked too . Thyroid and Adrenals work in unison .
