Is it more likely that I have a thyroid problem OR cushings?

I have an enlarged thyroid gland, I have been exerciseing and eating healthy but just can't lose weight, hair on my upper lip and under my jaw, my skin is dry and blotchy, muscle cramps

I know of some people that went to the doctor to get there thyroid gland checked and it came back normal but they've had a thyroid problem.
Please help

An enlarged thyroid can sometimes mean there is a problem. It should always be worked up.

As far as an inability to lose weight and endocrine disorders (cushings, thyroid), a thyroid problem would be far more common than cushings syndrome. But in my experience, it is usually neither.
