It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. How well is your hypothyroidism under control. A simple explanation is that you are eating more than is needed. Keep a diary of all that you eat and drink, for two weeks and then reduce your intake by at least 30%. Consult the doctor who prescribed your medication.

You are eating more calories than you are burning. Eat less and/or burn more. Works every time.
