Unsure if bloated or weight gain (pics included)

Hello,

I need help identifying if I have put on weight or I am bloated. My stomach has been like this for at least the last year and if there is an issue I want to address it. I think I have body dysmorphia and so I am really struggling to know my body at the moment.

I have deffo put on weight the last 2 years even though I generally healthy and active, however my stomach is so round, I'm struggling to figure out if it is bloat or fat.

My parter and I are TTC and so if there are gut health issues I do want to address it. Alternatively, I don't want to go to a GP, waste their time and look stupid if I have just put on weight and I can't tell.

Still yet to find out the cause, I have a gp appointment booked for next Friday (earliest I could get and I booked that last week)

Laxatives made no difference really apart from me shitting my guts out for the past few days 😅

Attached a photo of my stomach today - this is after eating barely anything for the past few days and a gluten free bagel for lunch

We have just found out I'm pregnant (5weeks)🥰 so hoping they take me a bit more seriously at my next appointment but will be requesting a different doctor for sure

How long has this been going on because I had extreme bloating in my first few weeks of pregnancy. I looked about 4 months pregnant.
