My two cents is:

When you are at your ideal weight or less and exercise moderately most days (just a nice walk) and eat right and get enough rest - that is the prescription for good health overall. It helps prevent diseases, helps your immune system function properly and helps you weather storms if they occur.

So... regardless if you have had breast cancer, this is what everyone should do to maintain good health.

So, you should lose weight to be healthy in general and in turn, logic says being healthy will help prevent a recurrence or new primary.

Kind regards
