Extreme hunger after eating - whats going on?

I have been doing IF - fine in the morning not a problem for me to hold out until 1pm. An hour after I have have eaten I am extremely hungry for another 2 hours. Though this rampant hunger was happening after every meal before I started IF.

This also happens after my evening meal. I am also constantly tired.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in Feb and now on Levo 50mg.
My BMI is 31 and I have high BP and Cholestrol (both medicated).
Also pre-diabetic (as per receptionist a few weeks ago - was never told).

Do I need to see my GP?

Ask for a check for diabetes. Could be a sugar craving. What is IF by the way?

IF - intermittent fasting

Suspected it was blood sugar related before reading your post. IF + pre diabetes suggests it could be to me. Not in any way medically qualified tho but have heard/experienced that feeling hungry - blood sugar are related.

Its strange because I will now be ravenous until I sleep but willwalk up in the morning with zero appetite - I can hang out until 3pm easily - its only when I actually eat - after an hour that the extreme hunger kicks in.
