If you're not optimally medicated then losing weight is difficult. Can you post your latest results, with reference ranges, for members to comment. Ideally we need

TSH

FT4

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

If you haven’t got any results, you can go and ask at your doctor’s - you have a right to see your results. How much levothyroxine are you prescribed?
