How Do I Deal With the Weight Gain On Perimenopausal Period?

Question

I am 45 years old now and have had irregular periods for the past couple of years. I can go 3 weeks or 4 months between cycles. I gained 12 pounds in weight for the past two months. I am only 5 feet tall and this gain worries me so much. I now work out daily, usually 45 minutes to one hour of cardio followed by a short strength training session. I seldom eat junk food or heavy fatty foods. Being heavy weight now depresses me a lot despite the assurance that my boyfriend gives me, that I still look the same as before. Is there any advice or tips that you may share with me on how will I let go of this situation?
