I've lost my waist and gained a belly

I AM GETTING FAT AT THE AGE OF 69 AND NOT LIKING IT! I HAVE ACQUIRED A LUMP OF FAT UNDER MY BREASTS AND HAVE LOST MY WAIST AND GAINED A BELLY. I AM VERY DEPRESSED.

Hi Dee, this is unusual at your age. If you look at height and weight tables for women from various cultural groups you'll notice a steady weight gain up to the age of 55 and then weight usually starts to come down again. I'm wondering what else has changed in your life recently? For exmple - are you depressed because of the weight gain, or is being depressed part of your weight gain? i'm wondering whether you've had medical checkup lately?
Kind regards
Cari
