If you lost weight, that can affect periods. It would be prudent to see your gynecologist for an in-person evaluation. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

Exercise and your weight lifting cause a lower amount of estrogen to be released, which results in a slower flow. After stopping it may take several months for a normal flow to return. Consult your OBGYN for advice.
