Hello,
The hormonal changes of menopause might make you more likely to gain weight around your abdomen than around your hips and thighs.
But, hormonal changes alone don't necessarily cause menopause weight gain.
Instead, weight gain is usually related to aging, as well as lifestyle and genetic factors.
So, I recommend to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and drink a lot of liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
