Hello
Thank you for writing to HCM
The normal weight gain in pregnancy is 10 - 12kgs
However from your history the weight gain is about 24 kgs and you are now in the 31st week.
It will be advised that you look at your diet intake and avoid excess fat intake and focus on good amount of vegetables and fruits in your diet.
Carbohydrates in moderation and good amount of proteins in your diet
after your delivery you can then try to shed the weight you have gained with exercise and proper diet
wish you all the best
