I'm dealing with hypothyroidism, and my TSH levels are at 11.25. I've also been taking antidepressants, and I've noticed that my weight and belly fat have increased quite a bit. Can you recommend the best cooking oil for someone in my situation? Also, any advice on how to lose weight and reduce belly fat would be really helpful.

I have a thyroid cyst on the right side of my neck that I can feel when I touch it. Is having a thyroid cyst the same as having hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism? Should I avoid foods that are bad for thyroid issues? If I need surgery, is it dangerous could it affect my voice or change how I sound? I'm really worried and not sure what to do.
A thyroid cyst is not the same as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, though it can sometimes be associated with them. A thyroid cyst is a fluid-filled sac within the thyroid gland, while hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are conditions related to the amount of thyroid hormone produced. Whether or not you need to avoid specific foods depends on whether your thyroid cyst is causing any hormonal imbalances.
