Everyone seem to be fine in just shirt/t-shirts. I need a sweater so I won't freeze. Kind of have been like this for a while since I lost bunch of weight. Not sure if it's because low body fat, or something might be wrong with me. Need to remember to ask doc next time I visit. Although in my experience they are usually pretty clueless if it's not something obvious.
I pretty much wear a sweater/sweatshirt year round in my office. I'll be at a football game wearing a jeans, and a sweatshirt and a fleece jacket to be warm, and people around me are wearing shorts and t shirts.

If you have low body fat (say, under 10%), you don't have a lot of insulation and you get cold easily. It's worse if you don't carry a lot of muscle.

You can have your thyroid checked - I did mine - but my guess is that you won't find anything there.
