Tsh 12hypothyroid with weight loss. after taking levothyroxine 75 mcg i gained weight in normal bmi.all gaining weight with hypo but i lost why?

Paradoxical: Generally one gains weight with hypothyroidism and usually loses that weight gain with treatment with levothyroxine. As long as your TSH is in normal range and your appetite and food intake are normal for you, your current weight should be stable.
