"If a person's iodine intake falls below approximately 10–20 mcg/day, hypothyroidism occurs [1], a condition that is frequently accompanied by goiter."
"The use of iodized salt is the most widely used strategy to control iodine deficiency. Currently, about 70% of households worldwide use iodized salt, but iodine insufficiency is still prevalent in certain regions."
"During pregnancy, the RDA for iodine increases from 150 to 220 mcg/day [2]. Surveys indicate that many pregnant women in the United States, while not showing signs of overt iodine deficiency, may obtain insufficient amounts of iodine [25]." I posted this, considering that you were pregnant in the past.

According to this, too much iodine also causes the same symptoms of too little iodine.
"High intakes of iodine can cause some of the same symptoms as iodine deficiency—including goiter, elevated TSH levels, and hypothyroidism—because excess iodine in susceptible individuals inhibits thyroid hormone synthesis and thereby increases TSH stimulation"

Your boobs need what the rest of your body needs to be healthy and build tissue. Vitamins and minerals help your body function, even your boobs. Vitamins and minerals in the right amounts even help lower incidences of breast cancer.
Breasts need iodine anyway, even if indirectly because of the thyroid's function on hormones. Iodine was shown to reduce fibrocystic breast problems. Iodine plays a role in breast feeding, but might play a role in breastfeeding capacity.
They might shrink a little, but that would be due to more than iodine. However, an imbalance of minerals is unhealthy.
Oh the other hand, too much of table salt and not enough potassium is also responsible for bloating, but that's usually during the late luteal phase.
Nutrition is a good subject to bring up with your doctor.

I'm happy to assist.
I just noticed that you're going on a 1,200 calorie diet. That's kind of low. Just worry about eating regularly and eating when you're hungry. Don't worry about weight, just worry about health.
You may have to continue taking that pill for the rest of your life for your thyroid, but who knows, maybe you can improve your condition. People who have thyroid deficiencies usually have big adam's apples, which is their thyroid.

Ps i want to mention i had axillary breasts...i got it surgically removed...they were quiet big and very ugly looking...my main breast travelled to my underarms i guess...They told me my breast tissue had accumulated ther...now they r gone...but wish that brrsst tissue had stayed in my breast would have mde my breasts so much bigger..wrong breast feeding lead to this i guess...
