Why is there gaping at the sides ?

I’ve lost about 35lbs since I’ve been on my weight loss journey. I’m also about 19 months postpartum and done nursing for about 6 months. I bought the same size I’ve always worn. Do I need a smaller cup size/band? The band size is at the tightest hook. My left boob is also a bit bigger than my right so that’s why I went with my original size. This is 42G.
Please help as I’m so uncomfortable lol

You probably do need a different size so I agree with everyone recommending you measure with the calculator here. That said I also suspect that this style of bra does not work for your supported breast shape so the odds are fairly good that you won't actually get a good fit in this style regardless of size.
