Hello,

Weight gain could be related to individual constitution. If there is no leg swelling, everything seems to be OK. I agree with your doctor on the recommendation to check your fasting glucose and for thyroid gland dysfunction.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
