Try changing up your routine.

Make sure you are eating enough, consuming enough protein, fiber, fat and water. Also, ensure you are properly weighing and measuring everything you track and ensure you are tracking everything you eat and drink.

A medication will not make you put on fat... it may make you retain water... it may make you feel hungrier causing you to eat more and than gain.
