If you're worried about your hormones get them tested by your doctor. Usually it's a simple blood test. Don't try to fix it with herbs.
As for the weight gain, my suggestion is to check out intermittent fasting until you reach your goal body fat %, combine it with weight & resistance training and proper protein & fiber intake.
Personally I'm doing an intermittent schedule of 15/9, and it seems to be working. The idea is that the first 12 hours of fasting burns carbs and crap, and anything afterwards burns fat. So by having a fasting period of say 16 hours straight and a feasting period of an 8 hour duration (lol not 8 hours straight of nonstop eating!) you aren't always in carb burn mode, you'll reach fat burn mode. Add weight training which will drive your heart rate high enough that you will also reach cardio mode (yay double duty!) And fat burning should skyrocket.
A few of My fav girls to follow on instagram and youtube include:
Massy arias
Abby pollock
Hannah bower
Denise Emoberg
They have great training advice.
I also like the youtube channel Yoga with Adriene, great for tight muscles and flexibility for both post weight training stretching AND Non-weight-day training, she has videos for every level and purpose.
I hope this helps!
