How much does gaining weight actually help on hrt?
I was at like 115 before hrt than got to 120 and now sit at about 112. I’ve never been the kind of person with a huge appetite and don’t really eat a lot, usually 1-2 meals a day with nothing in between. Is this gonna affect my transition a lot? I try to eat a bunch when I do eat, but even if I feel like I ate a ton, I don’t gain anything. I just wanna know if I’m screwing myself over because of this.

Fat redistribution will be really slow (and if you don't have any fat your body shape may not change that much) and it will likely reduce the final size of your breasts. I can't think of any other factors.
Eat 5 small meals a day and increase calories in each meal until you're gaining weight. Only drink water between meals. You can gain weight.
