I am a 36 year old female , is it necessary for me to check my thyroid? people keep telling me being overweight could be due to my thyroid

Hypothyroidism: (underactive thyroid gland) often results in weight gain but weight gain is unlikely to be due to hypo(underactive) thyoidism....in short ..get your thyroid checked out but it will most likely be normal! Hope this is helped! Dr Z
