Uneven weight loss - is this lipedema? (Photo)

Asked By:Gentle402684 in Tallahassee, Florida

I recently lost about 78 lbs since August 2022 and I've noticed that one side of my body is still retaining a lot of fat as opposed to the other side. Not sure if it's just slow weight loss or possibly lipedema. It's the upper right portion of my body.
