Prozac is generally a weight loss drug -----so in general watching what you eat and exercise during and or after taking the drug should help. If a healthy lifestyle does not help have your thyroid checked. Prozac can rarely affect the functioning of your thyroid which may inadvertently be slowing down your metabolism. Clinically, weight gain has not been recognized as a side-effect of Prozac, however, a quick search of the internet reveals many users who know from first hand experience that it can slow the metabolism and even increase your appetite.
Fluoxetine has a long half-life and can remain in your system for a month and a half after ceasing taking the drug. After this time frame, you may notice your metabolism returns to normal. Unfortunately, this is an unpredictable process and many people who take Prozac have trouble losing weight after their treatment, despite a controlled diet and exercise.

If you don't eat enough can it cause stalled weight loss or weight gain?
You are absolutely right. If you don't eat then body will understand that there is a famine on earth and it will slow your metabolism rate and start conserving all the fat and energy. The metabolism is the furnace that burns off fat and energy at the cell level. So if you do not eat metabolism as such cannot happen because the enzymes needed for metabolism are manufactured from the nutrients that come from the food you eat. So if you don't eat food, then enzymes cannot be manufactured and enzymes are the fuel of metabolism. Can you run your stove without gas or kerosene? so metabolism will reduce or will not take place efficiently. When sugar level in the blood increase because of being not burned in the metabolism the insulin produced by lever will convert this energy or sugars into fat and start depositing in your body so that you can survive the famine and live for a few days more. Not only that, when you start eating normally, your body feels that the famine is over and starts putting on more fat to cater for another famine that can occur. So starving or not eating food will cause your body metabolism to reduce and actually stop weight loss.
