I hope you're not a vegetarian.
I didn't experience any increase in my appetite when I started T. I believe it's because I already ate a lot of protein. That's right, meat.
Over the years, I've had people tell me that all I have to do to lose weight is to cut most of the fat out of my diet. In fact, I did that years ago, under the supervision of a well-meaning dietitian. It nearly killed me. She kept telling me to eat more of certain nonfat/low fat foods (fruits and vegetables, nonfat milk, pasta); I kept telling her that I wasn't cut out for that; she kept telling me that my body would adjust. It didn't, but she wouldn't listen.
I had serious intestinal problems for months. I was running to the toilet every hour. I was hungry all the time, and I was miserable. All I thought about was food. I eventually gave that dietitian the boot. She wasn't interested in customizing an eating plan to suit my body; she only wanted to dogmatically apply the party line that fat is bad for you.
Some time later, I discovered by accident that I was sensitive to high-carb foods and happiest eating lots of protein. My innards calmed down. My hunger was satisfied. I lost weight.
Ironically enough, HRT seems to have lessened my sensitivity to carbs, so I can eat all the carbs I want and not have any internal problems. It sounds great, but it isn't. Before that, I was able to stick to a high-protein diet because I knew how my internal organs would react if I didn't. So a few months ago, I got sloppy about my eating habits. Started eating lots of convenience food. Not so much protein but many carbs. I gained weight back, and I am hungry all the time.
I don't know what will help you to lose weight. That seems to vary from person to person. But among guys, when trans or cis, I have found that protein satisfies hunger for much longer than carbs.
