The thermostat was replaced four months ago. I have noticed white smoke coming from under the good and that the antifreeze isn't leaking out on the ground but I have to fill it up every week

The thermostat could still be bad. Also, the radiator could be partially plugged. You need to actually locate where the white smoke is coming from. Check around the water pump to see if there is a possible leak there. Also, is there any white smoke from the exhaust?
