Brief Answer:
It could be due to hormonal changes also.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Your weight gain due to hormonal changes caused by estrogen hormone.
You should go for thyroid profile to check your thyroid function and lipid profile to see cholesterol levels.
You should consult a dietecian for diet chart and gym trainer for weight loss regime.
But from my side you should first cut off fat and carbohydrate from your diet.
Take healthy and leafy vegetables.
You can take walk and do traidmill and yoga also but under supervision.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
