Best Answer

Exercise at times can definitely make you gain weight especially if your workouts are mainly muscle building instead of cardio. Muscle weighs more than fat so sometimes gaining weigh isn't such a bad thing, especially if its muscle. In the long run gaining a few pounds of muscle is very beneficial towards you because the stronger your muscles are the faster and easier it will be to burn calories.

Because muscle is heavier than fat and you are getting into shape by building muscle. Once your muscle tone has leveled out the extra muscle will help you reduce FAT much quicker.
