Why am I losing weight with subclinical hypothyroidism?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

What is my thyroid with a TSH level of 7.62, hypo or hyper?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have lost 10 kg, but my skin has become loose and started to sag in my cheeks. My eyes are sinking in with dark circles around them. I drink 4 liters of water per day and have started strength training. My thyroid is at 6, and I am currently under medication for it. How can I make up for these nutritional deficiencies? I am a vegetarian. Thank you in advance.
