I have started snoring right as I am falling asleep and it wakes me up?

It started all of a sudden about two months ago. Pretty much every night or early morning when I began to drift off to sleep I will snore and can hear it and feel the vibration in my throat and it wakes me up. This can happen multiple times. I do usually eventually get to sleep but it has made it more difficult. I have been a snorer in the past but this is the first time I have had this particular issue. I am not sure what brought it on other than I did gain back pretty much all the weight I lost during the pandemic and I am thinking that may be the culprit. I am currently trying to lose weight again. I am thinking I am probably going to contact my doc to have a sleep study done but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this or heard of this and if you have any ideas as to what to do about it in the meantime. Thanks!

I already sleep on my side.

Try the strips to stop snoring which they sell at the drug store first.  You don't need a prescription and if they work, you're saving a trip to the doc and that expense

The noise does not wake you.  Lack of oxygen to the brain is what happens when the tongue  relaxes to the back of the throat.  That wakens you.  Try sleeping on side in fetal position.  And lose weight.
