I started this medication last fall for an underactive thyroid. Since then I've been packing on the pounds even while watching every bite I take and excercising regularly. Answer this question

You should report unusual weight gain to your doctor. See https://www.drugs.com/sfx/levothyroxine-side-effects.html

Suzanne's first comment is right on. Weight gain is not a normal side effect of taking levo and too much of it could cause weight loss, the opposite of what you report. Your doc should get involved.
