With so little information it is difficult to diagnose the cause.
Could be water retention due to hormonal imbalance. Is your periods regular???
Or just water retention due to high salt and sugar intake in diet.
Also due to stress and lack of sleep
Next Steps
If you looking at personalised advice then you can book appointment with me and I can guide you after understanding the root cause
Health Tips
Restrict salt intake
No packaged and processed foods
No sugar in diet
Avoid late night dinners
Include protein in diet
