Could hypothyroidism be the reason I can't lose weight?

My wife is unable to lose weight even after following a good diet and exercising daily. She has no symptoms of thyroid as per the blood test report we did recently. I need help in checking the symptoms which may cause this issue?

Is it safe or possible to lose weight during pregnancy if someone is overweight and has thyroid issues? I am concerned because being overweight may lead to excessive weight gain during pregnancy, which could affect health. Could you please guide me on how to manage weight safely in this situation?
