    Although patients with Hypothyroid (low function of the thyroid gland) may put on weight; weight gain is mostly due to faulty eating and lack of exercise. Make sure that you are eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.
    Consult your doctor for evaluating whether you should be doing a thyroid testing.
    If you have put on too much weight over a short period of time OR If you are not losing weight despite trying, thyroid may be suspected!
