depends whether the thyroid is underactive, or overactive. The enlarged gland would more suggest overactive. Weight gain on the other hand suggests possible underactive. But that gain in weight might not even be thyroid related at all. So your clear course of action is to go visit your doctor and have her evaluated – in the first instance by a simple blood test which will give a lot of information to the doctor.

Same as in an adult. The “enlarged” you mention is probably goiter. Both my sister and I had them but had different thyroid malfunctions. She has Graves and had to have her thyroid killed. I had Hashimotos (which flucuates between over and under) and had mine removed for cancer.
Try gettiang some iodine in your daughter diet – shell fish, iodized salt.

Weight gain is a sign of hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland). So is fatigue and inability to concentrate. Is she doing poorly in school? This could also be a sign.
There are a couple of ways to help. The thyroid hormone is dependent on iodine for the body to make it. Most salts are iodized, so adding some extra salt to her diet could do the trick. If this doesn’t help, then she may have a more serious disorder that can be treated by taking thyroid hormone. You would have to receive diagnosis from a doctor and he or she would recomment the hormone treatment.
