My tsh levels are 0.031 and i've been gaining weight, what to do?

Does not add up: Your TSH level suggests increased thyroid activity that is expected to cause weight loss. It is possible that you are eating more than even the enhanced metabolism is burning up. It would be prudent to discuss it with your doctor.All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that.
