Does obesity have an affect on puberty?
Post Body

TL;DR: 19 male, wondering if obesity has an effect on puberty/growth since I was overweight/obese from a very young age

I'm 19 years old (male) weighing about ~178lbs right now so just a smidgen in the overweight category. However my highest weight was ~308 lbs at 18 years old which is morbidly obese.

Something I didn't think about much was how my weight could be affecting puberty or my growth. I've been overweight since I was about ~10 years old and I suspect I was obese between the ages of ~15 to ~18 possibly more. I was wondering if anybody had any knowledge or experience of this.

Given my age I expect I'm past all of that now anyway so if there is any affects its probably a case of the damage is already done. That's fine because I did do it to myself however it would be interesting to know and perhaps talking about it may help a younger loser out there.
