Answers:
Is the doctor keeping the TSH suppressed because of your recent thyroid cancer. This is very important, so that none of the cancer cells come back. Plus, having a lower TSH should help in weight loss. If it doesn't, then maybe you need both T4 and T3 in the form of Armour. Synthoid is only T4.
