I have read that before. But despite being about 30 lbs overweight, my estrogen levels were so low they never registered on a test, meaning they were below 5.0 pg/mL.

So I don't hold out much hope for much of rise in testosterone if I were to lose weight.

I think the study was based on weight loss surgery.... Not just someone overweight (Hmmmmm I fit that model).
"Past studies have found that weight loss surgery can help improve testosterone levels, but scientists weren't sure how quickly this happens."

I don't think the surgery was the significant part, it's the amount of weight. Those undergoing weight loss surgery are generally morbidly obese, though I have heard you can get the surgery if you are only 50 lbs over. But more typical is a BMI of 40+. My BMI is more like 28.
