Actually yaar, sitting in front of the laptop all day with zero movement is the main reason. Plus, we end up eating junk food when we get stressed. Just a 30-minute daily walk makes a huge difference.

If the weight gain is mostly around your lower belly, it could be due to hormonal imbalances like insulin resistance, which is common in PCOS. It's always safer to consult a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis.

As someone who manages diabetes, I know that abdominal fat is closely linked to blood sugar spikes. Be very careful with white rice and refined flour, as they convert to belly fat very quickly.

Stomach weight is often visceral fat caused by eating more calories than you burn. Focus on adding more protein to your meals to stay full, and start doing some basic compound lifts or brisk walking to burn fat.
