What's the most probably cause of edema? Lupron or Zytiga+Prednisone? And are there ways to manage that, while continuing on medicines?

Zytiga (abiraterone) is the likely cause of the edema. The OP switched to Nubeqa (darolutamide) and their edema resolved.
"Zytiga + Prednisone:
Edema is listed as one of the most common adverse reactions (≥10%) with Zytiga plus prednisone — meaning it affects at least 1 in 10 patients. Zytiga blocks cortisol production from the adrenal glands, which can cause fluid buildup (edema)"
Caveat: I'm not a medical professional!
