@MyUsernameHere have you tried calories surplus?
When I initially started Peating I was eating 3500-4000 kcal daily, mostly raw dairy and orange juice among other things, I gained something like 40 lbs within 2 years, trying to "boost my metabolism", and I still had all my symptoms and felt no better, as well as being depressed about being fat again. I was around 200 lbs.
Now I'm around 160 lbs again and actually feel much better despite eating less and being thinner.
I know it sounds logical that if fasting wrecked your metabolism, overeating should help it, but it's not that simple sadly. My TSH during the time I overate was something like 7, and my most recent one was around 3.5...
