Please advise appropriate diet and exercise for me.

Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your weight gain may be partially due to hypothyroidism.You may start with brisk walking for 20 minutes daily and gradually increase it to 45 minutes daily.
Please do not lift heavy weights at this age. This may cause more harm than benefit.
Please tell me how much thyroxine are you taking and your TSH level and medicine details so that I can see whether thyroid is not the cause of your problem.
Please note:
Definitely you will lose weight if you follow this.
