Brief Answer:
You need to add life style changes...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Some women start to put on weight following delivery secondary to hormones; this is common. But I see such changes almost very soon after delivery. The increase in your abdominal girth may be secondary to post
pregnancy, lax abdominal wall or general weight gain. What ever may be the cause, the best and most effective solution would be improved life style. You need to inculcate exercise both cardioexercise (brisk walking, swimming, cycling, jogging or tread mill) and abdominal toning exercise (abdominal crunches, side hip crunches, abdominal twists, side reach and so) as well as cut down on high calorie diets from your food regime.
There are lot of research done on use of medicines to tone medicines however none of those studies have yielded fruitful results. Therefore please do not go behind looking for medical drugs.
If symptoms don't improve and if you develop other symptoms such as
lethargy,
irregular periods,
dry skin, hair issues and so on, you can visit your doctor and get your hormones -
thyroid and reproductory hormones checked.
The above said regimen - diet and exercise is going to give you results on a slow scale; so be patient for at least 3-4 months to see some results.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification.
