My body posture seems off and my chest looks a bit like breasts. What can I do to fix this and which specialist should I see? Could this affect my chances of joining the Indian Army through technical entry? Is surgery required to correct this?

I've recently found out that my TSH level is 11.4. Is that something I should be concerned about? Could you guide me on how much medication I might need to take, and maybe suggest a diet plan that could help? I'm just not sure what's best to do right now.
A TSH level of 11.4 is higher than the normal range (0.4-4.5), indicating hypothyroidism; consult your endocrinologist or healthcare provider for personalized guidance, but typically, levothyroxine (T4) medication is prescribed, starting with a low dose (25-50 mcg) and adjusting as needed; a general diet plan for hypothyroidism includes: iodine-rich foods (dairy, seafood), selenium-rich foods (Brazil nuts, fish), zinc-rich foods (oysters, beef), and avoiding soy, gluten, and cruciferous vegetables, which can interfere with thyroid function.
