How can me having a higher testosterone level affect me trying to lose weight?

Testosterone: In women will generally stimulate weight gain. Obesity is generally related to Insulin resistance and can stimulate higher testosterone levels. It's all a vicious cycle. You need to eat less and exercise more and lose weight or things will get worse over time.
