Could be that you're putting on muscle which is a lot heavier than fat with the exercising. Either way you're going to be healthier physically and mentally, even if your primary goal is fat loss.

Hey hun
If this really bothers you I would suggest you talk to your doctor about this. As there are plenty of other anti-dresspents out there and your doctor may be able to prescribe you something else. Hope it works out for you and i'm here if you ever wanna talk. Take care of yourself

The best thing to do would be to speak to your doctor. They might be able to adjust the dose, or else prescribe something something that would not make you gain weight.
