Thyroid is the metabolic hormone of the body. If you are hypothyroid then your metabolism will slow down. But it all depends from person to person. It is also true that your body fat will reduce slower than a a person with normal levels of thyroid. But you can always keep your levels in check by following a discipline lifestyle and eating clean and exercising well To maintain a low body fat and/or lower body fat: 1. Exercise at least 5 times per week 2. Eat whole/unprocessed foods at regular intervals, while being aware of physical hunger/fullness cues 3. Sleep 7-9 hours per night 4. Don?t engage in extreme diets 5. Stay consistent with your habits 6. Incorporate non-exercise physical activity 7. Ignore food advertising You need a fat loss diet which comprises of whole grains like jowar, bajra, wheat, brown rice, pulses like moong, musoor, bengal gram, lots of vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, chicken, paneer, healthy oil, nuts and seeds. You need to eat them in right proportion. Avoid eating sugar and sweets, refined foods like maida, noodles pasta, White rice and products, bread. Drink a lot of water.

Lybrate-userji, you are having a very severe obesity close to being grade 3 with a bmi of 37.87 kgs/m2 (normal <23 kgs/m2). Usually if hypothyroidism is not fully checked, weight reduction efforts are not much successful. Tsh should be between 3 to 4 milli units/l. Weight reduction needs a very serious commitment from the person in terms of following a very strict dietary regimen, like avoiding sweets, pastries, bakery items, deep fried foods, junk foods, aerated sweetened drinks, highly processed products, avoiding all items made with maida, products containing fructose corn syrup high fat milk products like cheese and paneer. Plus performing at least one hours of exercise daily which should include aerobic activity for 4 to 5 days a week and 2 to 3 days strength training. Plus consuming a good del of green leafy vegetables and salads. Increasing the intake of fiber containing foods. Thanks.
