Thyroid & weight: The most important goal is to get the thyroid function under control. There are many people with thyroid disease that have normal thyroid function (normal TSH) because it is controlled with medication. The first step is to work with your endocrinologist to get that TSH in the normal range. In the meantime, a healthy diet is always a good option for both weight loss and general well-being.
