What Causes Weight Gain And Insomnia In A 76-year-old?

I am 76 yrs old and have trouble sleeping, I am gaining weight and cannot lose weight even though I watch my diet and exercise. I have never had a weight problem but this past year I have gained for no reason and can t seem to take it off. I have had a complete hysterectomy and my friend thought I needed progesterone. Can you maybe have an answer.
