Ayurvedic approach for hypothyroidism (TSH level above 10) for a female 24Y

Question

Obese and weighing 90kgs and above since the last 10 years. Hair thinning, face swelling, are amongst the worst of the symptoms other than not able to lose weight. 
I got diagnosed 4 months back and on a supplement for the elevated levels. But I feel there should be a natural approach via diet and lifestyle change or something ayurvedic finding in this regard. Please help me with this.

Here’s a comprehensive natural + Ayurvedic plan to support weight loss, hormonal balance, and reduce symptoms:

---

1. Ayurvedic Understanding

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this pattern suggests an imbalance in Kapha and Meda dhatu (fat metabolism), possibly with Ama (toxins) accumulation and sluggish Agni (digestion/metabolism).

Diet Plan-

Morning -Lukewarm water with 1 tsp of Triphala powder or 10 soaked fenugreek seeds.

OR Juice of 1/2 lemon + pinch of black pepper + pinch of dry ginger in warm water.

Diet should consist- High-protein & low-carb diet,millet, red rice,Roasted chana or foxnuts (makhana) or green tea with cinnamon.

Herbal tea like cinnamon or ginger tea (avoid dairy tea).

Amla juice or soaked almonds (4–5), or a fruit like apple/papaya.
Add buttermilk with roasted cumin if digestion is sluggish.
Dinner (7–8 pm):Soups, sautéed veggies, or millet dosa with chutney. Keep dinner light and avoid wheat, rice, and sugar.

Avoid: Dairy, sugar, fried food, wheat, white rice, maida, processed snacks, and cold drinks.

Lifestyle Recommendations

Sleep: Go to bed by 10 pm. Deep sleep helps hormonal reset.

Movement: 30–45 min brisk walk or yoga daily. Kapalbhati, Surya Namaskar, and Ustrasana help metabolism.
