This is what happened to me when my thyroid went south. I had other symptoms as well, but as soon as I started thyroid meds, I lost 50 lbs in 3 months. I stalled a lot this past year when I decided I had to get serious and lose the other 60 lbs I need to lose (banded in 2005) and despite working out and being really good, It took me 9 months to lose 20 lbs. It was my thyroid again. I would push your doctor for an extensive hormone work up. Mine didn't actually show up on blood work for about 6 months after my severe symptoms started, then my levels of TSH were through the roof. After a few years of battling this, my doc and I figured out that any thyroid level above 1.2 or so, despite that being a very normal number, causes issues for me. I guess what I am saying, is thyroid issues can take time to manifest themselves as far as blood work goes, and just b/c you TSH is in the normal range, it might not be in a range that is normal and works for you. I hope you get this figured out.
