Sureshkkdi72,
Some hypothyroid patients lose weight and some hyperthyroid patients gain weight.
If your thyroid levels are within range you are not biochemically overmedicated. When you reduce dose TSH should rise but T3 and T4 should drop.
I was advised to eat frequent small meals to prevent weight loss and I found protein shakes in between meals helped me gain some weight.
