Summarizing https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22446-leptin
Here's my try:
Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue that helps regulate hunger and maintain normal weight. It signals satiety and fullness to the brain, but leptin resistance can cause overeating despite adequate fat stores. Leptin mainly acts on your brainstem and hypothalamus to regulate hunger and energy balance, though you have leptin receptors in other areas of your body. Leptin doesn't affect your hunger levels and food intake from meal to meal but rather acts to alter food intake and control energy expenditure over a longer period of time to help maintain your normal weight. Leptin has a more profound effect when you lose weight. As your body fat decreases, your leptin levels decrease, which signals your body to think that it's starving. This stimulates intense hunger and appetite and can lead to increased food consumption. Scientists are still studying leptin, and they believe it also affects your metabolism, endocrine system regulation and immune system function. Your white adipose tissue (body fat) makes and releases leptin. White
