As an Ayurvedic practitioner, it's great to see your commitment to a healthy lifestyle with a balanced meal plan, regular exercise, and the consistent use of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) for your thyroid management. Given your current regimen of 2200-2500 calories with a focus on whole foods and no added sugar, you are on the right track to potentially gain weight healthily.
To gain weight without adversely affecting your lipid levels, it’s important to focus on nutrient-dense foods that provide healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbohydrates. Incorporating sources of healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, can help you increase your calorie intake while also supporting heart health. Additionally, including protein-rich foods like legumes, dairy, and lean meats can promote muscle growth, especially with your moderate strength training routine.
Your lipid levels, which were within a reasonable range during your last check-up, can be maintained by continuing to prioritize whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables, along with fiber-rich foods that help regulate cholesterol. Regularly monitoring your lipid levels is advisable as you adjust your caloric intake and exercise routine. Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet or exercise, particularly in relation to your thyroid medication, to ensure that your overall health is supported. With a mindful approach, it is certainly possible to gain weight while keeping your lipid levels in check.

You're in a good spot, and with your focus on getting healthier, it's totally doable to gain weight without messin' with your lipid levels too much. You've got a robust activity routine, but let's talk balance.
First, check on vata dosha, since underweight often hints at an imbalance there. Think about more *grounding* and *nourishing* foods that can help build up the dhatus, or your body's tissues. Nuts, seeds, and healthy fats will give you the extra calories while being gentle on the heart. Almonds soaked overnight and coconut are great, but not overdo it, okay? Sneak some ghee into your diet too—might sound counter-intuitive, but it's a classic Ayurvedic tip. It boosts agni, that digestive fire, makin' your body absorb nutrients better.
About the calorie plan...I see it's quite balanced, just stay mindful about portion sizes, focusing on wholesome grains like quinoa or brown rice instead of processed stuff. If you're okay with dairy, A2 milk or cottage cheese, or even homemade paneer, can be awesome for gaining weight safely.
Now, on the exercise front, perhaps lighten up high-intensity aerobics a tad, if your goal’s to gain weight. Overdoing cardio can keep you from beefing up. Yoga’s *perfect*, especially restorative poses and gentle strength training that doesn't stress too much.
By the way, managing stress levels is crucial. Cortisol can mess with your efforts, plus the heart prefers a calm mind. So, maybe explore pranayama? It's brilliant for destressing.
Keep monitorin' those lipid numbers – if they start shiftin', chat with your doc. That's key. And hey, you're doing great! Realign as you go along—health's a journey, not a race.
