TSH more than 2.5 is high in pregnancy. This should be treated to avoid risk to fetus. Please consult your OBGYN for levothyroxine.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

I am gaining weight drastically and even after following a proper diet I am not able to lose weight. I am having neurological and other problems due to this. My blood report also shows high fat percentage. What should I do to lose weight? I do not want traditional suggestions like diet or exercise as I have already tried those.
