Weight Gain
Testosterone plays an important role in metabolism and body composition. It helps the body maintain lean muscle mass and regulate how fat is stored and used for energy. When testosterone levels fall below a healthy range, these processes can begin to change.
Many men notice gradual weight gain, often around the abdomen, even when their diet and activity levels have not changed significantly. At the same time, it may become harder to maintain muscle and easier to accumulate body fat.
These changes in body composition can also affect energy levels, confidence and overall health.
For men with confirmed testosterone deficiency, restoring hormone levels under medical supervision can help support a healthier metabolism, improve body composition and make it easier for the body to respond to exercise and lifestyle changes.

Experiencing any other symptoms?
Low testosterone rarely shows up as just one thing. If any of these feel familiar, take a look:
Your TRT questions, answered.
Yes, particularly around the middle. Low testosterone shifts how your body stores fat and makes it harder to build the muscle that supports your metabolism, so weight can creep up even without changes to diet.
Abdominal fat contains an enzyme (aromatase) that converts testosterone into oestrogen, which lowers your testosterone further. More fat means lower testosterone, which makes losing fat harder, and so on.
TRT isn't a weight-loss drug, but by restoring testosterone it can improve body composition, energy and motivation, which supports fat loss. Where weight is a major factor, we can combine TRT with medical weight-loss support.
Yes. Where clinically appropriate, we offer GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro and Wegovy alongside TRT, managed by the same clinical team so both work together.
With a comprehensive blood test reviewed by a UK doctor, looking at testosterone alongside metabolic markers so we can treat the underlying cause, not just the symptom.
