Women are prone to gain weight when androgens and testosterone are at higher levels in their body than perceived ‘normal’ for a regular female. However I am wondering why this is, considering males have lower body fat percentage and a higher muscle mass ratio than women; you would think the excess testosterone in a woman’s body would help them lose fat not gain it? Or am I just dumb for thinking this haha.

because male steroid hormones make you hungry you eat more, and this causes weight gain
Men have a higher muscle mass and lower bodyfat than women not due to hormones, but due to genetics. Similarly distribution of fat on men is in different places than on women.
