Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the weight issues. Diet, regular exercise and an active lifestyle would help you to drop. Dump body is not a well known medical jargon and I would suggest you try to explain it. Water retention may lead to weight gain but this is not often the cause of weight gain without visible edema.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
