A member asked:

I stopped injection contraceptive and am now taking pills as it was making me very fat. hormonal imbalance.how long till i lose this fat.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Hormone changes can be slow, probably at least a period of months. Weight loss usually also needs regular aerobic exercise & healthy eating in order to be effective. If the medication change plus exercise & diet don’t help you may need lab work including a thyroid blood test to be sure not a factor
