I am not on menopause but thought I would suggest Ozempic, which has helped me shed 20% of my highest body weight in less than a year. I am 52. I had gained weight on meds, and one of the worst culprits was Zyprexa. With Ozempic, I started losing weight even while I was still on Zyprexa, but several months later my pdoc switched me to weight-neutral Latuda, to my delight. I also do personal training (strength training). I weigh the same as 10 years ago, but my body shape is far better thanks to strength training.

I have talked to both medical weight loss doctor and internist and they concur that for weight loss, you need strength training. Aerobic exercise is good for mental health benefits, but not for weight loss.

Good luck counteracting the weight gain! It is possible.
