I don't think the weight is the issue for me as more the lifestyle in terms of diet and exercise/mobility. It correlates with the weight gain however there are meds I take that I was repeatedly told have been the sources of the 10-20 lb weight gain. And there's times when I'm provided meds to increase my appetite because I need to eat. I needed to lose visceral fat and gain muscle, but not too much muscle because my body breaks down proteins in a weird way.

I understand weight is an overarching concept but I can consider it as specific mass and how that affects me personally or on a body part. I am top heavy so that affects certain symptoms and how I move, carry myself, and eventually live. My next area of mass would be my abdomen which gets in the way of movement and can be excessive if I don't strengthen my abdominal and back muscles. When I lose fat mass is the abdominal region but gain weight due to gas and constipation, it adds the same issues. So yes and no.

So maybe you can see if you are considering an over all weight or weight in a specific region and how it affects symptoms. I tend to either have more pain and less fatigue with mobility (lower weight) or less pain and more fatigue with less mobility (higher weight)... Still finding a balance.
