Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. When one is on adequate dose of Levothyroxine, TSH is usually maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at which all the symptoms are in check. Plus efforts to reduce weight also do yeild results. Since there is no mention of current TSH levels it is difficult to know how well is the control. Secondly there is a need to take a properly planned diet, that provides calories based on your ideal body weight which is 59 kgs. (59 X 20 = 1180 K cals/d). Plus there has to be a regular exercise of over 1 hour every day. Diet should contain a good deal of green leafy vegetables, salads, fruits, whole grain flour. No deep fried foods, no red meat, no polished rice, no bakery items and no foods made from maida. If you have any questions do come back. Thanks.
