How much does being obese hold you from growing?

[shahid khan]

Does being obese hold you back from getting taller or holds back your growth spurt? If so does losing weight might have an increase in height?
I have already dealt with alot of autistic answers for today so be real

estrogen from being obese will accelerate growth plate closing. So yes you will be shorter and have wider feminine hips and gyno

No it does not. Technically estrogen does increase but physical growth is then accelerated to compensate.

In short - it doesn’t hold back your growth spurt and if anything makes it come earlier. If you are obese and 16+ do not expect to get a growth spurt from losing weight.
