Adrenal disorder : Consider testing your adrenal gland for Cushing disease. Excess cortisol can cause such weight gain & may be related to side effects of medications.

Activity?: Is your activity different? Which medications are you on? Hormones can define tell cause a cage in weigjt, and not just thyroid but also cortisol and others. I would get a complete physical, ask your doctor about testing other hormones, and consider a visit to nutrionist for complete review of diet and energy expenditure.
