lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. In hypothyroidism if TSH is not well controlled weight increase, dry skin, dry hair and hair fall, irregular menstruation, muscle and joint pains, swelling of face and legs and anxiety etc symptoms are quite common. First thing is to bring down TSH level <3 mU/L. Without that there is no improvement. Plus efforts to reduce weight will not succeed. Same is the case with dry skin. So please check your TSH and come back. There is no special diet required, what is needed is to reduce the food intake so that caloric intake matches your ideal body weight (62 kgs). Plus regular exercise. Madam if you can not give time to maintain your own health then there is no way I can be of help. Thanks.
