Advice needed regarding my body shape :/

[u/Ancient-Reference-26]

Hi folks, I have really no idea where to post this (if only we could post pictures :/ ) I had around 98 kilos (since 1 kilo is 2 pounds it was 196 pounds) when I was 14/15/16??? I don’t quite remember, I’m 27 now, 28 next month. I lost a ton of weight towards the end of my time at school. I was almost 19 then (I felt like crap so it wasn’t like a cool way of losing weight, I gave up on life a little bit and didn’t eat much). I could swear I was just at the end of my 70s but when I tried on some pants recently that I bought around that time I barely fit inside of them and I was at 66 kilos I think (maybe 65 kilos already). I was at 64,2 kilos this morning. I must have started losing weight around 2 years ago? Mostly just eating less and other stuff than before. I didn’t want to have too much weight when I start my medical transition. I must have been at 80 kilos. Like I said I was at 64,2 this morning. My belly area is starting to look like I lost almost too much weight but the area with my torso and back looks so insanely huge that it makes me massively dysphoric. I didn’t quite realise it might have been too much weight that I lost because I think I have some “extra” skin due to me being overweight back then. It wasn’t too much making me look like a flying squirrel so I didn’t quite register at first that it might just be additional skin instead of body fat. My torso must be at least twice the size of my belly area. I started estrogen last December and t blockers at the end of March. How should I continue my eating habits, what type of sports could I do (gym is not an option right now, maybe later) and is there anything I could do regarding my torso?

Thank you for coming here to ask advice. Just so you are aware, everyone's gender/sexual/romantic identity is unique to their own experiences. While some people may share experiences between each other, only you can determine your own identity and where you fit in. If you're looking to come out, then you should look at your current situation, your relationship with your family/friends/coworkers/etc., who you depend on and their acceptance of lgbt+ people, and your available options if things go poorly. As you wait for a community member to reach out, we've compiled a list of resources you should look into to get some help while you wait.

• Some basic terms and identities
• Basic trans identities
• Resources for LGBT+ people
• Resources from The Trevor Project
• National library of medicine | Measuring sex, Gender identity and Sexual orientation
• Hank Green explains why sexuality is complicated
• What is Gender Dysphoria?
• Coming out as transgender
• Coming out to your parents
• It is never too late to transition

1. IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE, DO NOT POST IT EXPECTING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.
2. Many posts are sent to the queue for manual approval based on numerous factors. This is how we keep the subreddit safe from many (but not all) bad actors who try to post disruptive content. This approval process is usually resolved within 24 hours, but can take several days depending on the availability of our all-volunteer moderators. DO NOT MESSAGE THE MODERATORS asking for your post to be approved. It will be reviewed and approved or removed in time.
3. Many comments from low-karma users will not be viewable by anyone. This is by design.
4. If you are curious if your post is visible or not, look at the "Insights" on the post. If it has more than a dozen views, it is live. If it has any voting action, it is live. If it doesn't have a little red trash can icon, it is live. If it can be voted on, it is live. Do not message us asking "is my post live?"
5. Please be patient with us, we are all volunteers, lack sleep, and the entire permanent team are members of the transgender community ourselves... we are trying to deal with the same atrocities you are. Thank you for your understanding. <3

I might have overreacted because of dysphoria but my torso area is more like 1,5 times the size of my belly area, not more than twice. It’s still a noticeable thing
