I have thyroid for last one month. I have put on more weight and my neck, underarms are getting dark in color now. I have low confidence now as I look fatty. I have even controlled my diet and started doing exercises. But still I look similar.

You have mentioned that only a month back treatment for hypothyroidism has been started. Then you need to wait for a period of at least 4 to six weeks for tsh levels to come to normal. On treatment tsh should revert to 3 to 4 milli units for control of all symptoms, plus efforts to reduce weight to show any result. If tsh levels remain high then diet and exercise will not benefit.
