Question : I am gaining weight for no reason. My diet and every thing are same. I am noticing my stomach is very heavy without eating anything and also I am noticing my belly is increasing and also getting heart burn. I am not sure what is causing this problem. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
