Weight gain before/ during period

Hey everyone,
This month has been the worst for me in terms of bloating on my period and it's sort of freaked me out a little.
I've noticed my arms are larger and my stomach is particularly swollen - I look pregnant.
I don't / haven't use(d) the pill or any form of contraceptives before and wondering if it might be time I look to them because the bloating is effecting me. It starts a week before my period and then usually last another 3-5 days whilst on on my period.
Does anyone else have this? Does anyone know how to stop it/ lessen it naturally?
I'll be honest I've had a weird couple of months of not much exercise as I had covid and it effected me quite badly. So it might be that I've already put on a few pounds but I really do feel like I'm wearing a body suit rn.
Ps im 30 and can't be pregnant etc.
