Hi,
Mirena IUD is loaded with long acting hormones which cause irregular menses and tend to increase in weight. Self diet consciousness with regular exercises can avoid such side effects. You should get your USG pelvis done for confirmation of certain conditions and consult your gynecologist / endocrinologist for specific advice and medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
