Delayed 'feeling full'

[MrsA2]

it's 11 pm and I ate dinner between 6 and 6:30 pm and haven't eaten anything since. Have drunk 2 or 3 cups of herbal teas.
I am now feeling very very full, . This fullness has only come on in the past hour. Prior to this I was just ok, neither overfull nor hungry, just not needing to eat
Seems to be happening regularly at about 10 or 11 pm. Dinner is always around 6.
Can anyone point me to any science or explanation of why I am getting a delayed response, and why I feel so full? Dinner wasn't large

I’d look up Ghrelin and Leptin - hormones which regulate hunger. They could be out of whack.

I tend to feel fuller an hour or so after eating than immediately after - sometimes I finish and feel like I’m still hungry, but usually if I wait, I’ll feel fuller later on. Not always easy to wait though!
