General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello , your history of illness is very ambiguous , so difficult to diagnose.
As you mentioned that whenever , you eat or drink , abdomen swells ( stomach ).
Possibilities may be due to :
1 Umbilical hernia , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination as well ultrasound .
2 Obesity , as you know that you are obese .
Control your diet , since you are just 45 yrs old , if your work is sedentary type then take only 1000 calories and you will get relief within one month.
Take a balanced diet , so for this consult dietician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
