Is it true that the more weight you gain, the more your anxiety increases?

I've gained a bit of weight during lockdown and, coincidentally, my anxiety got worse. Is there a connection between weight gain and anxiety? Thanks

I am not sure to be honest , I think no matter how much you weigh it is about been healthy because if you do not feel healthy in yourself that can affect your anxiety
