Harriette Cole: I'm completely overwhelmed, and my brother's comment didn't help
Briefly

Yes, you can and should tell him that his words did not help especially since you are already aware of your weight.
Having just had a child, your hormones are still raging as you are getting to know and care for your child. Explain to him that right now, more than anything, you need a cheerleader and support as you navigate being a new mom.
Perhaps he can walk with you or help in some other way to relieve the stress you are experiencing rather than fat-shaming you.
Talk to your doctor about what you can do for your overall health to regain energy and vibrancy and shed the weight.
