6yr remission autoimmune hepatitis. post rai hypothyroidism. safe for me to go on low calorie diet? my bmi is 37.5!

Yes with guidance: You need to work with your physician to be sure the safest approach. Your bmi indicates that you are obese, and i understand your incentive. Your physician will be able to advise you about your restriction and could even send you to a hepatologist.: an expert in liver disease. Your thyroid therapy should be fairly straightforward.
