Gained weight rapidly in the course of 2 months. my family has a history of thyroid issues. i am only 19 so could that be a cause even at my age ?

Possible : Thyroid disease can occur at any age. There are many reasons for weight gain, thyroid disease being one of them. Rule this out with a blood test.
