Hello
I have gone through your question and understood your concern.
It is true.Supplementing with omega-3 fish oil seems to be a safe and effective option that can help prevent and treat overweight and obesity.
These supplements has been shown to be effective for promoting not only weight loss but also fat loss in various trials.
Research reveals that lower body levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with higher BMI results, meaning that improving your omega-3 levels may reduce the risk of having a weight problem .
Omega-3 fatty acids may contribute to improved body composition by increasing metabolism and fat burning potential. They also seem to suppress appetite, which leads to the consumption of fewer calories.
But i want to underline that these supplements can not be effective for weight loss if you don't have a nutritionally balanced calorie-restricted diet and regular exercise.
These are the key elements if you want to maintain your 132 Ibs.
Hope my opinion is helpful.
If you have other question feel free ans ask.
Best regards.

Omega-3 fatty acids, or omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), commonly known as fish oils, are present in high concentration in fish and in flaxseed. Dietary supplementation with long-chain (omega-3) unsaturated fatty acids (present in oily fish such as salmon), is good for general health benefits.
Omega-3 fatty acids is mainly used for hyperlipideamia.
The most widely used n-3 PUFAs for the treatment of hyperlipidemias are the two active molecules in fish oil: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). n-3 PUFAs have been concentrated into tablets and in doses of 3–4 g/d are effective at lowering fasting TG levels. In general, fish oils are well tolerated, with the major side effect being dyspepsia. They appear to be safe, at least at doses up to 3–4 g/day, but can be associated with a prolongation in the bleeding time but the actual associated bleeding risk is unclear.This is the flip side of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids as fish oil or salmon fish is likely to help in gain body weight, as the fish itself will add to calories.
