Talk to your doctor: Most women do not need supplemental testosterone. Was it a total hysterectomy?

Try Metformin: Metformin is very effective for helping lose body fat. As we grow older, we all tend to become Insulin resistant. Insulin's function is to move sugar from the blood into the cells where it is stored as fat. I routinely prescribe metformin to my overweight patients (mostly non-diabetics) with overwhelmingly gratifying success. They feel better, have more energy, and lose their carb cravings.

Weight / menopause: Each year after menopause your metabolism slows down. So, to increase weight loss you have to increase activity and decrease calories. You may also have to consider getting rid of the testosterone.
