Yes give me a mountain of possibly wrong information with citations. The answer to your question is carbs and sugars are the same thing, the only difference is the length of the saccharide chain.

Well in that case, OP medication can lower your metabolic rate, or make you hungerier, which will lead to fat gain. Some medications can lead to water retention (which will also cause you to weigh more).

Doesn't matter if they watch their calories, if they're burning less calories than before they will gain weight. As you said specifically in bold.

That's to bad about the condition you had. Thyroid hormones contorl metabolic rate. So you where burning less calories and if you ate the same you would gain weight.

I am well aware of this stuff. So you're telling me if you fasted with PCOS you'll get fat? Once again, it's about calories, pay attention please. Also PCOS or not, it doesn't matter. If you eat 2,000 calories and it all turned in to fat, yet you go out and burn 2,500 calories. Where does the 500 calories of energy come…

PCOS wasn't mentioned in what i qouted. In your case, what controls insulin? Calories, it's still a caloric issue regardless. You do have a medical condition, which is understandable. Regardless though, the issue is calories. Eat less to lower insulin levels.

your hormones caused you to move less or eat more. That simple.

Once again it's water weight, not fat. You didn't create fat out of nothing.

Ever heard of metabolic supression? The way to combat it is by eating more calorise which will cause weight loss. Also just because you eat more doesn't mean you're consuming more calories. You can be consuming higher volumes of food.

This doesn't explain how. It is either doing 1 of 2 things. Slowing down your metabolic rate, or making you more hungry. This is how weight gain works due to drugs. That page even talked about water weight gain which isn't fat.

Water weight, not fat.

Okay I will explain it to you, but please tell me how many calories you where consuming, and your TDEE during that time...

Ask the doctor "HOW" does it cause weight gain
