Not obese. Weight tends to be stabilized around 1 yr. But many features need to be confirmed to say that.

Congratulations for exclusively breast feeding your baby.No she is not obese.Refer to IAP Growth chart and plot weight against age. You should play with your child and love her all the time. For under active thyroid don't stop medicines without doctor's advice.
