I did return to a more...moist chamois cream yesterday and it seemed to make a difference. I still had some problems with the saddle, but it wasn't as extreme. It appears that there were two problems going on. Next Friday we are switching the saddles between my bikes as they are the same saddle and see what happens. The MTB LDY saddle doesn't have near the mileage and is obviously more firm in the cutout area so it will be a good experiment. My phone just died so I hope to be able to put off a saddle purchase until the spring...

I'd put money on the weight loss shifting things around!
REI sells the LDY (also my saddle of choice on my road bike) and they do usually have good coupons and sales if you keep your eye out. Plus their return policy is fantastic.
I'm currently beta testing a new Selle Anatomica saddle. It's my first dip into the leather saddles and I have to say, once the sit-bones stop screaming, it's pretty comfortable. UNTIL you get into your drops. The cut-out is not who-haa friendly at all. I find that I need shorts with padding on this saddle vs my LDY where I can ride in tri shorts, no padding in aero or in the drops and be fine.
