Blood pressure can be elevated by so many things. In the OP's case it seems it was excess body fat. In some it is sodium sensitivity.
In my case it was potassium malabsorption. Ate tons of high potassium foods but my blood levels were low. Never got that figured out, but potassium chloride (salt substitute) daily raised my potassium levels to normal and my BP fell to normal.
