Excerpt from a YouTube video ("Cynthia Thurlow | The Surprising Truth About Late Cycles") where Speaker A discusses late menstrual cycles in people aged ~51–52, suggesting such cycles may be due to "dysfunctional urine" and noting that body fat can produce estrogen (specifically estrone, a weaker estrogen). The clip raises the idea that peripheral (fat) tissue contributes to estrogen levels later in life.

If you're over the age of 51, 52, and you're still getting cycles, it's probably dysfunctional urine, which I found really, really interesting. That was the first time I heard someone say that. And I was like, that makes a great deal of sense. So understanding that our body can create weight or forms and estrogen, like estrone, which is a weaker form of estrogen than our body will make in fat tissue.
