Did you only start feeling this way after your thyroidectomy? That would point to your thyroid dose not being optimal. OTOH, if you've always felt poorly, then some other issue like diet or genetic enzyme deficiencies could be the cause.
A low fat, low calorie diet can leave you malnourished and lead to weight gain. Contrary to popular advice, we need saturated fat. I would recommend The Perfect Health Diet and completely avoid processed vegetable oils and food colors. Some of your medications listed above indicate you have problems breathing. Yellow #5, tartrazine, or E102 (different names for the same food color) cause breathing issues in some people. If you read food labels and stop eating anything with these food colors and processed vegetable oils (soybean, sunflower, safflower, canola, etc.), your breathing may improve.
If your genes are causing issues, I highly recommend Dirty Genes by Ben Lynch. He lists common symptoms associated with certain gene defects and what things you should avoid. Sulfites can cause severe asthma in some people--read food labels. It's in wine, beer, balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, etc.
Your thyroid dose seems too low given all your symptoms. Compare your dose to this formula to calculate a combo T4 + T3 dose. You might replace some of your T3 with desiccated thyroid to see if you get better results.
