    Yes being constipated does adde weight. It does for me anyways! Ive been at a plateau myself and put on some weight. Maybe its time to change ur diet? Like add some more calories or take some away. Im starting to eat back my excersise cals that i previously wasnt doing. If that doesnt break it i may up my daily intake. Maybe its something u should analyze. Have u reset ur goals? For ur current weight?

    The last time I ran into a plateau, I just implemented a couple of small changes. FIrst I rechecked my macronutient levels to be sure it was correct for my present weight. The I changed up my exercise schedule. I started working out in the morning. This was a suffin=cient stimulus to start the weight loss again. It might be food. It might be repetitive, muscle memory causing exercise to be less effective. I do agree the constipation is indeed going to cause weight gain. Maybe after that is resolved you'll find everything is back on track. I'd first make sure you were healthy again and then re-assess. Hope this helps, good luck
