Not likely: Progesterone can be associated with fluid retention, not deficiency. It appears that you are on an oral contraceptive. This can also cause some fluid retention

Moon face: Probably related to glucocorticoid excess than to progesterone level. Obesity definitely be associated with puffy face too.
