I came across a study specific to anastrozole dosage and BMI posted on sciencedirect.com in 2014.

I wanted to read this study, but the address is ‘not found’. I too was prescribed an AI and declined, due to standard protocols and dosage. I am 74, weigh 108 lbs (with partial Osteopenia) and have good health (exception BC with recent lumpectomy followed by 5day rad) My Oncologist has been outwardly upset with me and my husband for refusing any AI. At the time of my surgery and post treatment, I was given a choice, radiation or AI or both. I choice radiation. I am closely monitoring my breasts and praying no recurrence. The standard protocols call for a one-size treatment for all BC sufferers.
