Yes: You are more likely to accumulate abdominal weight, which can increase your waist size. You need an aggressive program of diet and exercise as soon as possible. Check w/your doctor and a good registered dietitian. Programs like weight watchers can offer helpful support.

My BMI is 23 but my Waist Hip Ratio is 0.96. I have only managed to lose 7lb after fairly strict dieting for 3 months. I am slim everywhere except a panel of fat at the front. How worried should I be? Would HRT help?
