Questions about hormones, contraception 

I'm wondering about hormonal contraception that afab folk use and if it can change body fat distribution?

I know people commonly put on or lose weight depending on what they're on.

Questions about hormones, ffs 

The context of my question is that

1: I was put on a particularly strong combined pill before my body had finished developing
2: I have been on various hormonal contraceptions non stop since then.
3: None of the women in my maternal family have a similar body shape to me. They're all apples and I'm an hourglass.

@Galdrakinn That sounds more like a family history of Polycystic Ovarian syndrome you managed to head off with strong birth control.

@Motodrachen We don't have PCOS in our family? Like maybe my Gran but definitely not my mum.

Can you elaborate on how strong birth control can head it off?
