Hello,
Postmenopausal weight gain is an obvious thing. Almost every woman experiences weight gain once menopause comes due to certain hormonal changes which promote weight gain.
Apart from your HRT medicines, you need to modify your lifestyle. You should have a brisk walk for at least 40 mins every day. And drink plenty of fluids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
