Malfunctioning thyroids can contribute to weight gain (if someone hasn't already told you this I'd be surprised).

I had Hashimotos thyroiditis too, but they took the thyroid out because of the suspicious nodule that did end up being cancer. Hashimotos usually does lead to hypothyroidism but mine was caught before that. I would love to blame it for my weight issues but I think that would not be the root of the issue. I will still have to work to lose the weight, even if one of the contributing factors has been fixed. My endocrinologist is the same as my mother's though, he's done an excellent job helping her so I'm sure he will do the same for me.
