So the calorie input is what causes the weight gain — if you’re eating above your maintenance calorie level, you’ll gain weight. You won’t be able to isolate fat gain to any specific location though, and fat will be different than breast tissue. Personally I don’t think it would be a good idea to gain a lot of weight trying to get tits. Have you looked into prostheses/breast forms? I know it’s not the same thing, but it’s an option.

This is territory where I’d say go get a dexa scan. It’ll tell you your exact maintenance calories and body composition. As a trans woman I really recommend it once a year to track bone density so you can catch early signs of osteoporosis god forbid. At 4k calories I’d be worried about absorption. You may want to start taking probiotics and that sort of thing or at least eat with gut health in mind

I would not recommend weight cycling because it can have some negative health outcomes. If you insist on doing it, pick a forever weight that you want to be at, drop just below it, and then gain up to it and sit there. Over a year or two the fat will do its thing anyway.

No but I assume it’s some kinda genetic thing since all of my other amab cousins are the exact same way

Have you been to a doctor about this? That actually sounds pretty concerning

Naw I mean my doctors have all known about it and never really said anything so I assume it’s pretty fine and also I know my cousins who have the same stuff going on have had hella medical scans ad stuff unrelated and they had no concerns raised so idk 🤷‍♀️
