What Causes Sudden Weight Gain?

Hi, i am 15 years old 5ft 5inch and i am extremely worried as i have all of a sudden in the duration of 3 weeks put on a large amount of weight. Approximately, 3 weeks ago i was round about 6.3-6.5stones. However, i weighed my self 2 days ago and i'm now 7.3-7.5stones. I am really worried as too how it can be possible to put on so much weight. My diet etc has not changed, no body mentioned that I've put on weight, neither did i realize i had put on weight myself until i actually weighed myself. Please can you answer me query as soon as possible as too what maybe the reasons? thank you.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, neither the colleagues, nor you feel that there is increase in the mass of the body. But you weigh nearly 1 stone more of of your weight.
As i think it must be the mistake in the working of the weighing machine.
Any how the reasons may be the sedentary life during this period, more intake of food, or sleep.
You can control the weight by minimizing the intake of calories, sleeping time, and increasing the activity time.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
