[|AI|]  Your the latest thyroid profile values are required to decide the next course of action. TSH levels between 0.4 to 5 means that the Chat Doctor.  In case of higher values, dose must be increased and in case of lower TSH, the dose must be reduced. Thyroxine does not cause weight gain. Absence of thyroid hormone increases weight gain. Physical activity and healthy diet is also essential. Monitor thyroid levels every 1 to 2 months. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards
