Suggest Treatment For Weight Gain And Cold Sweats For A 59-year-old

I have a few symptoms and I would like to know what you think it might be: I am 59 years old and am gaining weight (roughly 15 pounds since January) even though my appetite is greatly reduced. I happily eat one meal a day but have no desire to eat more than that. I get thirsty as often as I used to and drink a lot of water each day. My belly is protruding more and only my fat clothes fit right now. It is uncomfortable for me to fasten my seat belt when driving. I am not able to lay on my stomach at night. I am not in pain but there is pressure. I am able to poop daily and the stool is normal. These additional symptoms might not be related, but I am frequently too hot one moment and my face sweats and then too cold soon after that. (Went through menopause in 2008 without any need of drugs.) I don t taste flavors/spices much anymore. My hearing is significantly reduced. (ex: My daughter said, I m in the watching seat. and I heard, I need to wash my feet. )
