Yes : It can be.  There is a condition called subclinical hypothyroidism in which the thyroid function is chemically low (measured with a lab test) but there are no symptoms of disease.  This can be observed rather than treated.  However, when there is a thyroid deficiency it can make you feel lousy but also can cause problems with digestion, skin, mood, your periods, energy level, and metabolism.

Yes: Weight gain is one of the symptoms of underactive thyroid but there are other factors that control ones weight and metabolism including the type of food one eats, age, gender, level of activity, function of the adrenal gland and many more. I have many patients who have low functioning thyroid but are not overweight, some actually quite thin.
