You don't say what your weight is, or if the problem occurred when/if you gained weight. If you have been overweight for some time and the problem of perspiration has only recently started, then I doubt if the two are related, but it could act to enhance another underlying cause.
I would have a chat with your Doctor and have some blood tests run as a first measure. Have your cholesterol levels checked and also have your thyroid checked because if it has become hyperactive this can cause excess sweating. Do you have any other symptoms?
