Hgh usually in the first few weeks to a month makes you retain water until the body levels stuff out from my understanding.
As far as metabolites yea they can hang around in a detectable amount for quite some time but at detectable levels after that long they aren't doing much because they have been broken down so much it's just the test can be really sensitive, shouldn't mess with suppression really. Possibly at an absolute scale it may cause some kind of effect but in practicality it isn't really messing with anything.
Personally I wouldn't do T3 as I doubt your bloat is from fat, especially if it was a rapidly gained kind of bloat, like within a few months. I would cut carbs, or find the foods that might be upsetting your stomach if any.
Edit: I didn't see you responded to my post.
I would try fasting for a bit, like half a day or something and see if the bloating goes down, or eat less for two or three days, and then eat normal and see if the bloating comes back after a certain meal. I found sometimes pasta noodles make me get really bloated, sometimes sweet potatoes as well if I'm eating a lot.
One thing that can help is probiotics, or yogurt to help digestion if its that your body can't process the volume of food sometimes that helps. Other times it's just that your body doesn't like some food.
