See endocrinologist: I'm assuming he already sees an endocrinologist and is on medications for the hypothyroid. He should be able to address all these issues. They are the experts in this field. Typically treating the hypothyroid coupled with a health diet and exercise promotes the weight loss. Height is a different issue. Really depends on genetics, but studies can be done to evaluate if it is a problem a well.
