Starting right, with hypoglycemia/hypothyroidism

Hi there! I'm new to being dedicated to this site. I used to use Daily Plate before they shut down. In my late 20's I was always around 125. I'm 5 2'. However fast forward, marriage, career, baby, now a hectic schedule with a husband that works 50hrs+ a week and a 5 year old, time to myself to be active is non-existent. I can usually squeeze in a 30min walk with my dog at lunch, but its not helping. I'm currently sitting at 144. Way more than I want to be for my height.
I don't eat junk, but I don't know why the weight isn't coming off. In the past year, I've been having thyroid issues, which my Endo told me does result in a lower metabolism, so I've been trying to eat more yogurt, vinegar, teas (metabolism booster). Also, if I don't eat every 3 hours, usually a piece of toast/apple/banana, I start to feel dizzy. I'm so discouraged. I already get up at 6:15, get ready for work, get my daughter ready and to school, work until 530, start dinner, do all the household stuff, then start getting her ready for bed at 8, I don't get to sleep until around 11, so I might get 7 hours of sleep a night. Having a hard time finding time other than 30 mins a day, and not everyday.
Any ideas?
