I have been experiencing the same thing now a year later. It was so fast I thought I was going crazy. I went from 145 to 180 in a matter of months nonstop. My physician thought it was hormones because I had just turned 46 and maybe I was going thru the change. I was told I was pre-diabetic she had me on ozempic which I believe led to the last 20lb jump. It’s been so depressing nothing fits me I look like I am pregnant or just had a baby. My hands feet legs and belly are so swollen and puffy. I stay with gastric issues I am scheduled for a colonoscopy soon. No one is listening about the weight gain being because of COVID. I have been working out swimming diving snorkeling hot yoga nothing helps. I am not a bad eater so my doctor to me to eat more. Nothing works. I have lost 3lbs and that’s with fasting for a few days. I have worked hard to maintain a healthy weight and now I feel crappy gassy bloated and very sore and tired a lot. I hope a remedy comes soon it’s hard seeing my self like this and nothing I do works.
