Hi,
First of all i would like to appreciate you for Your life style which is very healthy. Weight gain during menopause is due to some hormonal changes inside the body.
Hormone estrogen is decreases after menopause. Estrogen takes care in maintaining body in shape. i suggest you to consult gynecologist for hormonal replacement treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
