Why do i gain most of my weight in my legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormonal: There are different types of weight gain. The one you described is mostly related to the fact you are a woman(estrogen related ) and possibly some genetic influences as well.There are some forms of weight gain that are worse, like the one caused by excess steroids named cushing syndrome.
