Snoring has multiple causes but most common among them is obesity or sudden weight gain. Snoring occurs due to vibratory movement of tissues of throat when air passes through a narrow collapsed airway when you are asleep.
Next Steps
If you are having obesity try to reduce weight atleast 10 percent of the present weight. If you are not over weight consult a ENT surgeon who specializes in snoring and sleep apnea
