I'm so confused after meeting with a new endocrinologist

Little bit of background. I am 30. I was told around the age of maybe 15 I have PCOS from a gyno because of irregular periods, was put on hormonal birth control and never really thought of it again for a while. In 2020 I can off birth control, looked into it more and decided to see an endocrinologist who confirmed I have PCOS based off symptoms and lab work. I was put on metformin and spironolactone and lost 30 pounds, clear skin, regular periods, blood work looked good. I came off spironolactone after a bit because I wasn't using protection, incase I fell pregnant. Stopped seeing my endo because I moved and had my metformin prescribed by my gyno no issues. Had a baby in 2024 and 2025. Now 9 months postpartum, I had an elevated testosterone at my physical.

I just saw a new endo today. He told me he doesn't believe I have PCOS. Looked at my most recent lab work, as well as labwork I found from 2020 when I first saw an endo and said "it's not that elevated" for reference the 2020 lab work range says 2-45 and I have a 57 and 70. and elevated LDL as well.

I was telling him 2 months post partum I fit back into all my old clothes and felt great. I have no changed anything, but my weight is going up, my acne is coming back, I feel bloated, my period is irregular and my lab work shows my testosterone going back up.

Now IDK what to do. After years of seeing so many other doctors who said I have PCOS and treated it now I randomly say a new Doctor for the first time and he's saying they were all wrong?

I'm not sure what to do

I will say I don't "look" like I have PCOS. I am 5'9 and 146 as of today (140ish postpartum so its going up), but at the beginning of my journey I was 160 and don't want to get back to that.
