Whenever you are stressed the body liberates a hormone called cortisol to help you deal with stress. This in turn cause you to gain weight , have thinner skin, lose hair . For your age i would recommend you to take up some physical activity that causes you to be vigourous like dancing, running or a sport that you like. It would also help you deal with stress as exercising releases hormones called endorphins to counter your stress. also when you eat have food that is filling like salads or wholewheat breads instead of tea, coffee and other caffeine containing products. This in turn would also make you have a better digestive system.
