I just want to point out that fat redistribution can take a while to take effect depending on the person — while some people get lucky and see changes in a few months, it can also take years to be noticeable. I wouldn’t wait to start testosterone until after you lose weight because fat redistribution is going to take time regardless. You can always lose weight while you’re on T

You definitely shouldn’t put off starting T until you lose weight. Everyone’s different, but for me T actually helped me lose fat and build muscle because I had more energy! My waist size did increase bc of the redistribution and binge eating chicken side effect, so it was annoying to buy new pants but worth it for the mental health boost and low key getting jacked

I started T recently (like 6 months ago) and no, I didn’t. but also going in I had the mentality of letting redistribution happen slowly or losing weight after starting if I wanted to.

i didn't because i was so miserable that putting it off at all would've been devastating. fat movement happens on t whether or not you lose weight, and it's a lot easier to care about and engage with body stuff when it sucks a little less to be in your body, at least for me. i wouldn't recommend waiting.
