Answer
Hello. Based on your description, childhood obesity is caused by excessive nutrition. Suggestions: If you are concerned, you can take your child to the hospital for hormone secretion tests. Normal hormone secretion is not pathological but caused by excessive nutrition. You can lose weight through some methods, control your child’s food intake, and gradually lose weight through exercise. It is recommended to seek professional treatment at a regular hospital.
