Dear H
Your present BMI = 20,4 which is slightly below the ideal of 22 for which you would need to weigh 55 kg, but the 4 kg you lost in the last month is not excessive (i.e. 1 kg per week). If you have not been dieting then this could be due to stopping the hormone treatment which can cause weight gain in some women. You should not regain the weight you have lost.
