Underactive Thyroid and Keto Eating

I've been on Levothyroxine for Underactive Thyroid for many years and it seems fairly well controlled. The biggest problem ; I cannot lose weight, although I exercise daily and eat sensibly. I decided to try the Keto way of eating to kick start weightloss if I could and did for 4 days, it worked amazingly well and I lost 6lb during that time.

I decided to read up on Keto with Underactive Thyroid and was surprised to find Keto is not recommended with this condition. It apparently can alter the Thyroid levels. Can anyone please tell me, if I could follow the Keto plan for a month or two without any detrimental effect to my health. I'd be most grateful for the advice.
