Testosterone is directly causally inverse to bodyfat in men (once above some very low baseline)

Fat directly converts testosterone to Estrogen via a process called aromatization.

Personally my Testosterone close to doubled when going from 25% bodyfat to 13%. I get blood tests regularly and can see the levels fluctuate pretty closely with fat levels
