Hello there,
Firstly, a healthy diet plan will be needed with proper lifestyle change with medications as your TSH leveles are very high. First consult with a physician for proper medication, then consult a dietitian for lifestyle change and diet plan.
A good diet plan will help your TSH levels to come down to controlled level, weight loss is also required which will be achieved after following the plan.
Next Steps

Your BMI is in the obese range, and because you weigh more, fatigue and breathlessness are commonly observed. You are suffering from Hypothyroidism that’s the reason your metabolism is slowed down, which is why you are gaining weight.
Here are some guidelines you can try to follow in your daily routine:
- Include more of whole grains such as millets, brown rice, oats, etc.
- Try to include protein in all 3 major meals of the day to support your metabolism.
- Add fibre to your diet by including more fruits and vegetables which will improve your satiety and help in weight management.
- Avoid consuming raw cruciferous vegetables, instead boil them and have it.
- Limit fried foods, packaged snacks, sweets, excess salt, and refined sugars.
