First, you have to check your thyroid function and adjust your Levothyroxine dose accordingly because a thyroid disease can cause weight gain.

Decreased metabolism rate due to low thyroid hormones lead to weight gain. Over time, weight gain due to hypothyroidism can cause obesity so treat your hypothyroidism by taking L-thyroxine to maintain normal values for the hormone to inhance metabolism
