Causes of weight gain after marriage include severe constipation, overeating, and insufficient physical activity—all of which contribute to excessive fat accumulation and obesity. If obesity is severe, active weight-loss measures are necessary. It is recommended to engage in regular aerobic exercise such as running and other forms of physical activity to enhance fat metabolism, while avoiding excessive food intake. For constipation, appropriate laxative therapy may be required to manage the condition effectively. If hyperlipidemia develops as a complication, lipid-lowering medications should be prescribed.
