Putting on unwanted weight is bad enough at the best of times, but it's particularly upsetting when it's beyond your control.
You don't say if your doctor has advised medication or further tests, but as this is clearly a real problem to you I do think it's important you try to get a clearer picture of what's wrong.
In the meantime starving yourself isn't the answer as it will only make you more likely to be miserable and depressed as well as reduce your metabolic rate so that you're even more prone to lay down fat.
Instead, you should try to follow as healthy a diet as possible, with lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. If you can, try to go for organic wherever possible as some pesticides found in the non-organic sort are known hormone disruptors. Although they are unlikely to be present in amounts that could cause problems, the cocktail effect of several pesticides is unknown and therefore worth avoiding.
Similarly, certain food plastics can contain chemicals linked with hormone problems, so try to avoid too many microwave dinners and concentrate on simple unprocessed foods like pasta and rice.
Though it is tempting to avoid high fat nuts and seeds, it would be a mistake to do this as the essential fatty acids they contain are essential in healthy hormone production. In fact if you don't already eat seeds, you should do so every day - try a tablespoon of mixed flax, pumpkin, sunflower and sesame, all available from health foods stores.
Finally, you could also try taking a supplement of agnus castus and/ or liquorice which are herbal remedies which have been used for many years as hormone balancers. Some nutritionally oriented medical practitioners also recommend a 'natural' progesterone cream made from wild yam, but you need to get professional advice before you use this.
