I just found out today I have a thyroid disorder. I have been gaining alot of weight(in September I weighed 96 and now in July I weigh 109) and have not changed my diet and I have been exercising everyday. Also, my face has been breaking alot more than it used to. When I go on medication should I lose some of the weight I gained and should my face clear up?
