New and nervous!

hello my name is Ocean, I'm hoping this post reaches everyone well. I was always skinny in my young adult years but at 27 I was diagnosed with Graves Disease which affects the thyroid, while treatment has made me feel better in general I still struggle with chronic pain and have now gained around 70lbs which is insane to me, I got some stretch marks and carry a lot of my weight awkwardly with thin hips and a large belly, this has single handily destroyed my self image, while I understand being as thin as I was wasn't healthy I didn't expect to go so far past my goal weight of around 120-130 I'm now 167 and so down about it. I have some life stress happening and recently lost a long term relationship and I need a glow up bad! Am I forced to just be one of those people who can gain weight like nothing but not loose it? Sorry if I'm being a downer I appreciate if you read this far :p I could really use some advice or motivation and don't have anyone in my life I'm comfortable talking about it with so thank you strangers ♥️
