Hi,

Weight gain with scanty periods suggests low thyroid hormone or PCOD as a cause. Hormonal estimation with USG scan of pelvic region would help in differentiation. Consult a gynecologist for more personal examination and advice.

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