DS, 12, seems to be hitting a wall. He is a very miserable little guy. He has gained 60 pounds in two years, all around his middle.
Want to have hormone testing. I know cortisol testing, but what others are recommended?

I would recomend Thyroid Pannel. Make sure they do the following tests: TSH Free T4 Free T3 Total T4 TPO and TGAB ANTI-Bodies
I would also recomend all sex hormones. Estrogen Progestrone Testorone also DHEA
and a 24 hours cortisol saliva test

Is he eating a healthy diet?
Is he eating any sugary foods? Does he ever eat products made with white flours, like white bread or spaghetti? Does he eat white rice frequently? Does he try to stay away from chemicals like aspartame?
I just want to make sure that you're looking at the big picture, and not just focusing on hormones alone.
