To be honest the amount of weight is secondary to proper diet, a lot of people ask that question but in reality you need proper diet a good fuel source for the body in order for the muscle to grow. You can add some weight lifting and body building in your fat burning and weight control plan but you should do it to an extent where your body can bear it without any problem.

How do you gain weight by weightlifting?

Well if you lift weights you gain muscle right, well muscle has weight so if you gain a pound of muscle your not getting heavier your just building muscle. Bodybuilders on average weigh 200 to 280 pounds but they don't carry that extra weight in fat but they carry it in muscle. But since fat burns 60 calories a day muscle burns close to 110 calories a day so ultimately that muscle will burn all that fat you want to burn.But if you weigh 500 pounds your not extremely muscular you just fat.
