Its call nutrient mal absorption. Whatever food you are taking its just not helping you to generate energy. So chat with few more details.

Hello, With hypothyroidism, gaining muscle would be difficult, unlike fat. Exercise regularly and take medicines to control hypothyroidism. You will surely get results, but be patient.
