Menopause and weight loss

Options
About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer I had surgery and treatment and it resulted in premature menopause.. Now 25 pounds heavier and feeling it , I am wondering if there is any one else out there fighting the battle of the bulge with hot flashes and finding it difficult to lose weight.. And do you have any advice..

    I've been in menopause 4-ever! It's probably not a news flash but I have found that regular exercise, and cutting back on sugar REALLY helps the hot flashes. It's a constant battle. I also read somewhere that cutting caffeine helps but I haven't given up my morning coffee(s) yet or occasional iced tea.
