Sometimes, it involves an increase in overall body mass, but sometimes, it presents more like a sudden or gradual increase in belly fat. Weight gain in women may also be accompanied by related symptoms such as bloating or loss of muscle mass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a female who has noticed unexplained weight gain, it\u2019s essential to know that multiple factors can contribute to a higher number on the scale. Below, learn more about the most common causes of weight gain in women.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-causes-weight-gain-in-women\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What causes weight gain in women?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several factors contribute to weight gain in women. These include lifestyle influences like diet and exercise, medical conditions, and certain medications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"calorie-surplus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calorie surplus<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people consume more calories than they burn, their body mass increases. That\u2019s why some of the most common causes of weight gain in any population are related to diet, exercise, or both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31105044\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that ultra-processed diets tend to cause excess calorie intake, which leads to weight gain. Some of the most high-calorie foods are processed foods, including refined <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carbohydrates<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, high-sugar foods, and foods full of saturated fat. Conversely, too little exercise can cause weight gain because calories are consumed at a higher rate than burned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hypothyroidism\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypothyroidism<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypothyroidism<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or an underactive thyroid gland, affects<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23246686\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.6%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Americans ages 12 and older. It is more common in females than males. Not all women with hypothyroidism experience body weight changes, but weight gain is one of the most common symptoms, according to JaLorean Hayes MPH, BSN, registered nurse and founder of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mealmaps.org\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meal Maps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe thyroid gland regulates metabolism, and when it underperforms, the body slows down, leading to weight gain,\u201d explains Barbara Sparacino, MD, a triple board-certified physician and founder of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theagingparentcoach.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Aging Parent Coach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polycystic ovary syndrome<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9494255\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The hormone imbalances associated with PCOS also cause insulin resistance, which is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6832997\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strongly associated with weight gain in adults<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMany women with PCOS struggle with weight gain, especially in the abdomen,\u201d says<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bodytosoulhealth.com\/about\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennifer Nicole Bianchini, RD, IFNCP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a registered dietitian and functional nutrition practitioner. \u201cHowever, not all women will gain weight or experience difficulty losing weight \u2026 Some forms of PCOS are not directly associated with insulin resistance or inflammation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bottom line: Women with PCOS often gain weight easily \u2014 and struggle to lose weight when needed. However, seeking personalized treatment for your PCOS type can help with weight management.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"perimenopause-and-menopause\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perimenopause and menopause<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Sparacino and Bianchini say that the hormonal shifts associated with perimenopause and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">menopause<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can cause body composition changes. Sometimes, those changes include weight gain or difficulty losing weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estrogen<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plays a role in weight distribution,\u201d explains Dr. Sparacino. \u201cAs [estrogen] levels decline with age, women may notice weight shifting to the midsection. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bianchini says some women report body fat shifting from their hips and thighs to their bellies. \u201cEven women who are not experiencing lifestyle or diet changes can experience unintentional weight gain due to these hormonal shifts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone experiencing significant weight gain during menopause should seek personalized medical advice from their primary healthcare provider or gynecologist. Some body composition changes can be treated with diet and exercise, but some might require nutritional supplements, prescription drugs, or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hormone therapy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"high-cortisol\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High cortisol<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK538239\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cortisol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a naturally occurring hormone often dubbed \u2018the stress hormone.\u2019 However, cortisol also regulates metabolism and immune response. According to Bianchini, when a woman is chronically stressed, her cortisol levels can stay elevated, triggering a cascade of hunger cravings, elevated blood sugar, insulin resistance, and fat storage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another rare but possible cause of high cortisol?<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cushing\u2019s syndrome<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a condition \u201ccaused by excess cortisol production, often due to prolonged steroid use or adrenal gland dysfunction,\u201d says Dr. Sparacino. \u201c[Cushing\u2019s syndrome] can cause rapid weight gain, especially in the face, upper back, and abdomen.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, high cortisol levels can increase several risk factors for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">obesity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and overweight. Any woman concerned that stress is leading to weight gain should consider stress reduction strategies (yoga and biofeedback) and consult her healthcare provider about lab testing and lifestyle changes that might improve her ability to manage stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"metabolic-syndrome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK459248\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">closely linked<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to abdominal weight gain. In fact, belly fat is a symptom of metabolic syndrome, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">metabolic syndrome can increase belly fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome is an umbrella term for a group of conditions that raise your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/metabolic-syndrome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Institutes of Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (NIH). The conditions include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and unhealthy cholesterol levels (high triglycerides and low HDL). \u201cThe combination of these conditions promotes fat accumulation,\u201d explains Bianchini.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some women with metabolic syndrome find it challenging to lose weight \u2014 but the good news is that with the right lifestyle changes, metabolism syndrome is reversible, according to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uclahealth.org\/news\/article\/metabolic-syndrome-both-preventable-and-reversible\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> UCLA Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain medications\u2026 can lead to weight gain by altering metabolism, increasing appetite, or causing fluid retention,\u201d says Dr. Sparacino. \u201cThe degree of weight gain varies by individual and medication type.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medications that cause weight gain<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication-related weight gain<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in women is not uncommon. If weight gain is an unwanted side effect of one of your current medications, talk to your prescriber about switching to an alternative prescription drug.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-be-worried-about-female-weight-gain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should I be worried about female weight gain?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight gain in women is common. However, it\u2019s a good idea to seek medical advice from your healthcare provider if weight gain is \u201cunexpected, rapid, or accompanied by other symptoms like fatigue, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hair thinning<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">irregular periods<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or swelling,\u201d says Dr. Sparacino. She also says it\u2019s important to schedule a medical evaluation if a healthier diet or increased physical activity doesn\u2019t lower the number on the scale. In these cases, weight gain in women could indicate an underlying hormonal or metabolic issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Left unchecked, excessive weight gain can lead to obesity (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/bmi\/adult-calculator\/bmi-categories.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a body mass index over 30<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) or being overweight (BMI of 25-30), which can then lead to other health complications, such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint pain, Type 2 diabetes, and mental health issues such as depression or poor body image, according to Dr. Sparacino.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-is-the-cause-of-weight-gain-in-women-diagnosed\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is the cause of weight gain in women diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, weight gain can be self-diagnosed. For instance, weight gain can often be traced to a calorie surplus due to reduced physical activity or increased intake of sugar, fat, processed foods, or alcohol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a healthcare provider might investigate possible underlying health conditions if weight gain is rapid, unexplained, or accompanied by other symptoms. In that case, patients are usually diagnosed through a physical examination, discussion about medical history and lifestyle, and diagnostic tests. Dr. Sparacino says a physician might order tests such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thyroid panel<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (TSH, T3, and free T4) to check for hypothyroidism<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fasting blood sugar test to assess for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prediabetes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lipid panel to evaluate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cholesterol levels<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and metabolic health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A complete metabolic panel (CMP) to test kidney, liver, and electrolyte function<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And rarely tested are hormone levels (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">testosterone<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol) to check for PCOS or menopause-related imbalances<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-stop-weight-gain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to stop weight gain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to treat weight gain in women or how to get rid of weight gain in women depends on the underlying cause. For instance, someone who has been consuming processed food and sweetened lattes every day can probably reduce their weight simply by changing their habits. However, serious lifestyle changes or medication may be necessary in other cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight gain in women treatments include but are not limited to the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"most-importantly-know-when-to-consult-your-healthcare-provider\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, know when to consult your healthcare provider<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Causes of weight gain in women may include lifestyle changes, aging, or conditions that affect hormone levels. This may resolve on its own without treatment. However, if weight gain in women continues, worsens, or is accompanied by fatigue, hair thinning, irregular periods, or swelling, it could be a sign of hypothyroidism, high cortisol, or a hormone imbalance and require medication. Only your healthcare provider can rule out infection or other serious health conditions.
