I'm 62 years old, retired. Recently (3-4 months) I have gained weight. With the height of 160 cm, I weigh 72 kg and keep getting fat (day by day). What happened? Is it the thyroid?
There can be many reasons for gaining weight. From the prosaic ones that we started to move less and / or eat more. These are the most common reasons. There can of course be medical reasons and it is worth consulting a doctor about them. Dysfunction in the work of the thyroid gland, and more precisely its hypothyroidism, may actually cause a slowdown in metabolism and weight gain.
