Weight gain: Yes, you are correct in that it could be the thyroid or menopause. Those would be things that can be checked easily with your regular GP. I know it is frustrating and age does tend to make it harder to maintain or lose weight after 40!

Thyroid / menapause: Please do see your doc who may check your thyroid or do blood work and take history to see about menapause. Lifestyle is also a factor to consider. Peace and good health.
