Regained 30 pounds and my testosterone conversation got complicated

I lost 60 pounds in 2022, kept most of it off for about a year, then drifted back up 30 after a rough family stretch. At my physical last month, my total T came back 312, and my PCP brought up TRT.

I also have a GLP-1 script sitting in my pharmacy app that I haven’t started. I keep going back and forth: drop the regained weight first and see if the number moves, or start the GLP-1 and recheck later?

Sleep is 5.5 hours on work nights, I lift twice a week when I can, and my waist is up 3 inches from my best. Not asking anyone to choose for me — just want to hear from people who hit this same fork.

Did losing weight change your testosterone enough to matter, or did TRT end up being the piece that helped?
