I stopped TRT and lost 6 pounds in a week, why?

I had been on T cream and HCG. My last test results were as follows.

This test was done 5 hours after application of the cream:

Total T 586, range 250-827

E2, Quest ultrasensitive, 36, range <=29, high

Prolactin 6.6, range 2-18

My previous test using a 25% higher dose of cream, about 6 weeks earlier, I did 1.5 hours after application and my Total T was 877.

I've been on the cream and HCG for about 6 months, and since I wasn't feeling any noticeable benefit I decide to take a break for a while, so I stopped everything. After a weak of being off I noticed that I had dropped 6lbs. I'm 6'4" tall and went from 190lb down to 184lb. No change in diet or exercise habits.

Any ideas why this would happen?

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.
