Hi,
You have not mentioned any symptoms other than weight gain. Hormonal imbalance caused by hypothyroidism, ovarian cyst or insulin resistance should be ruled out. Recent intake of medications or diet modification should be ruled out. Pelvic ultrasound, thyroid test and blood sugar levels should be tested.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
