Still Having Belly Fat Issues on TRT

I was hoping that TRT would help me trim back some of this annoying belly fat, but it hasn’t really. I eat decently well, probably about 3k calories a day, and workout 3-4 hours a week. Scale says I’m at just under 13% BF, so it’s not high by any means.

I still have slightly elevated prolactin, which I was just reading can contribute as well. Working on this problem as we speak.

To be clear, I’m not expecting TRT to make me look like Ronnie Coleman, but I had a 6 pack in my early 20s, and it’d be nice to at least get a little leaner (without starving myself).

Have you tried eating 200 less calories while on TRT

How long have you been on testosterone?

Just need to mention this, in case…

Estrogen helps in the reduction of visceral fat. Considering you want to lose fat, don’t block estrogen.

Since mid June…so 5-6 months?

I learned this the hard way when I started and was trying anastrozole. Couldn’t figure out where the hell the gut was coming from. Dropped the AI and it improved.

Meeting with a new endo this week, which I assume will lead to an E2 test. Curious where it’s at between the belly fat and some nasty anxiety/depression issues I’ve been going through. Doesn’t feel unlike when I was on the AI. But no real reason for low E2 right now.
