Hi Malvika,
Peoples with Hypothyroidsm has to take care of the foods they eat and has to be too much active so as to get results. You need to burn calories by working out especially doing lots of cardio training workout. Cardio training exercises helps to burn body fat. Add a little bit of weight training atleast 3 times in a week so as to help toning up your body and at a same time improve your mscle mass so as to improve your BMR which will again help to reduce calories from your body. But let me tell you, dont expect any sudden results as persons with hypothyroidism takes a bit more time than normal individuals.
