Massive Weight Gain

I was diagnosed February of 2025...I had lost 20 lbs and they found this and hyperthyroidism in routine blood tests. Since them I've been on Methimazole starting low up to 40mgs now sitting at 15 and my levels have all leveled out. The big issue is that since Feb of last year I've gained 60 lbs and I haven't changed what I have been eating or amount of exercise. I'm miserable. Anyone have experience with this? How did you start losing it? My primary had me go to a cardiologist and all seems fine and I have an appointment with a pulmonolgist soon to see...but can this all just be the meds? I'm tired all the time now, get out of breath walking and just feel terrible with this extra weight. Any insight is welcomed. I'm desperate to stop gaining and try and turn this around. Anything else I should ask to be tested for?
