Does TRT cause weight gain?

Generally speaking injecting will always give you more bang for the buck then topicals. I’m back on TRT since August and have gone from 155lbs to 171lbs. The compliments outside and at the gym are actually getting annoying now, lol.
Seriously though I’m happy so far.
Currently on 140mg a week.
Although a few years back when I was on 200mg a week I saw much better results.
Peaked all the way to 189lbs lean mass.
But defy won’t approve that protocol anymore ?
Mind you I lift 5 days a week, with close to perfect form and eat about 3100 calories a day, hardly ever cheat.
You get what you put in, simple

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
