Muscle weighs more than fat.
Perhaps your exercise routine is finally paying off??
I'm not a doctor or a female... so all that other info...is wasted on me.
Do more situps for the belly. And eat less bulky carbohydrates. You can't go wrong with fruit and raw vegetables and perhaps...Less water?
PS.. we all gain weight after age 30. I have 30"-waist leather pants, from my teenage years, that I'm saving for my son.

Well if you think it is truly abnormal, you should get checked by doctor, but here are some things to consider.
You may be drinking too much water. Bloating is common, especially for women. Bodybuilders actually restrict their water because they want a defined look. You shouldn't do that, but make sure you don't overdo it with water.
Secondly, you're reaching the age where most people's metabolism starts to change. Basically until 30's your body is still growing, strengthening, maturing. After 30 you really don't need much calories to maintain weight. Either you have to do more to get metabolism up, or you have to restrict calories more. Or combo of both.
Thirdly, some sorts of exercise will thicken the "wrong" areas, especially for women. Sit-ups will actually thicken your waist, lunges will thicken your butt, and chest exercises will thicken your chest. You may want to consider consulting a personal trainer.
Lastly, maybe it is just a self-image problem. Do you feel healthy? If so, don't worry about it.

I had similar symptoms and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, you might want to look into that. and also I had an IUD inserted 15 months prior and they thought maybe that could have been a cause too...I don't know what your using for birth control, but many of them will cause some weight gain.i have since had that removed and the doctors are working on getting my thyroid levels right... good luck
