Can Weight Gain After Hysterectomy Be Due To Hormonal Imbalance?

I had a hysterectomy about 8 years ago, but left ovaries, Did great until recently, I have gained about 20 pounds, with no change in diet, having night sweats, not resting well, fatigue, stomach issues, etc. Could this be caused from a hormonal imbalance?
