Why this happens
Sudden loss of estrogen and testosterone redirects fat to the abdomen, lowers metabolic rate, and accelerates muscle loss. Without replacement, the trajectory continues.

Weight gain after hysterectomy.
If your ovaries were removed, you went into menopause overnight — without the gradual ramp. Hormonal weight gain hits fast. The good news: it's reversible with the right hormone strategy.
