Thyroid problems are generally divided into two categories, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid.
I'm going to assume that you have hypothyroidism, because that is more likely to be your situation.
Hypothyroidism has to do with the thyroid gland producing less T3 & T4 hormones that help regulate metabolism and mental and physical development. If you have this condition you will likely experience weight gain and generally feel tired most of the time. This can be especially true when you first wake up in the morning. You will find it hard to get out of bed.
The best thing to do is to go see a doctor, which you probably have done already. And, since this is difficult to diagnose, if your doctor doesn't give you a T3 and T4 test, I suggest that you get a second opinion and another set of lab tests.

Will alcohol effect a thyroid blood test?
If you are taking thyroid medication, there are certain things that can affect how your medication gets absorbed by your body; which could affect the outcome of your blood test. Prescribed thyroid medication will state on the bottle the proper way to take it. Typically it will say on the bottle to take one tablet in the morning, on an empty stomach, with plenty of water. It is important to take it with water, and on an empty stomach, because it will allow the thyroid medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream. It is best to wait at least 30 minutes before eating food. If you eat immediately after taking your thyroid medication, drink coffee, drink alcohol, or even add Metamusil to your water, this can affect the overall effectiveness of your thyroid medication.Talk with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your diet, and how it might affect the outcome of your thyroid blood test.Related Article: What Can Affect the Effectiveness of Your Thyroid Medication

Eating more, exercising less. If it is still a problem, you should consult a doctor to make sure that there is no underlying medical reason for the weight loss, like a thyroid condition.
