Reason why I suddenly got under eye bags...what type of treatment should I look for?

christinex
I'm 30 years old and suddenly got under eye bags. I hate my picture being taken now and they age me so much. My mother has bags, but didn't get them until she was near 50. I've stopped smoking (about 1 year no smoking), drink plenty of water, lost about 30 lbs thus far, take vitamins, sleep enough...doing everything I can to be healthy. But there's still no improvement! I'm thinking they are allergy or weight loss related. Creams do nothing. I have struggled with hormone issues.
