Anyone with fibroids?

I've loft quite a bit of weight, but my tummy fat won't budge. Compared with the rest of me, I look 3/4 months pregnant. I weigh 8 stone 3lb ish so it looks odd.

It's upsetting and I'm wondering if this could be due to fibroids? I have been told I have one after a transvaginal scan but I was led to believe it's quite small. Has anyone else got experience of this? I was told it's nothing to worry about.

I am late 20s if that's relevant.

When they measure fibroids they often refer to your uterus as being equivalent to x weeks gestation. I didn't have particularly large fibroids (reports varied but it seemed to be 4-6cm and a couple of small ones) and was quoted as 14-16 weeks equivalent. So if you're slim then I guess it could show. I've had mine treated so they'd should have shrunk but I think lockdown wine has probably outweighed any benefits on the waistline!
