Hashimotos and weight loss

I was diagnosed over 21 years  ago and take 200 mcg of eltroxin daily.  I have always had a herd time loosing weight and wondered if anyone had any suggestions or diet tips that helped.  I eat healthy diets and exercise regually but am 10 lbs up or down from the same weight for 20 years.

Thanks

Eltroxin is the name of the synthetic thyroid replacement that I take.  I walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes daily at 5,7 km per hour with a gradually increasing incline....no help.  I don't think that I am up to jogging...what do you mean by eating healthy?  I have heard that a low carb diet is best

Thanks\helaine
