Balance: After ruling out and normalizing metabolic factors related to weight gain (thyroid, Insulin resistance, etc.) creating a calorie imbalance towards burning more calories than you take in will generate weight loss. It takes approximately 8000kcal to burn 1 kg. The regulation of weight is very complex hormonally. Many have proposed a hormonal basis for various diets but the data is limited.

Thyroid function?: Most people with hashimoto's will end up with low thyroid function. Assuming that you have this under control with thyroid pills, the problem is no different from any other person with a weight issue. You will need to get on a regular exercise program ( 3 or more times a weeko which includes some weight training. Eating less fat and carb would help also.
