IS BEING OVERWEIGHT REALLY RELATED TO TESTOSTERONE ?
According to research, testosterone levels in obese men are lower than those having normal weight. Obesity and Testosterone are like the sides of a coin. If your testosterone levels are tossed up, the fat mass will go down and vice versa!

The supposed reason behind this may be that the fat tissues produce an enzyme called aromatase. This enzyme converts testosterone to a female s*x hormone, estrogen. As estrogen goes up, testosterone drops down. Under healthy circumstances, aromatase converts only smaller amounts of testosterone to estrogen but when men hit obesity, more fat tissues are present, more conversion occurs and thus low testosterone levels can be observed.

In conclusion, if obesity is reversed by making some good lifestyle changes, testosterone levels could be brought back to normal. Inversely, if the testosterone levels are increased or brought back to normal, there are chances of losing fat.
