As you age your body produces much lower levels of testosterone and there is a very strong relationship between low T, obesity, and elevated Est.
There's even a name for this relationship, it's called hypogonadal-obesity cycle.
In this cycle, low T levels lead to an increase in abdominal fat, which leads to increased aromatase activity, which leads to further conversion of testosterone to estrogen.
This further reduces T levles and increases the tendency toward abdominal fat and symptoms of manopause.
