Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the ultrasound is as follows:
An anteverted uterus suggests position of the uterus.
Anteversion is the normal position of the uterus.
A bulky uterus implies that the uterus is enlarged and this enlargement could be due to fibroids, adenomyosis etc.
A heavy endometrium suggests presence of thickened endometrium.
Do you have any history of irregular menstrual cycles?
If yes then an endometrial curettings may be required.
However, you need to consult a gynecologist for further management.
The left ovary is enlarged and cystic. This implies that there is cystic change in the ovary.
Cyst formation is common in ovary.
Weight gain can occur due to many causes.
You can get thyroid hormone profile to find out the cause of weight gain.

Thanks and take care
