Not everyone adds or reduces weight when using and after stopping the use of Birth Control pills, it depends on an individual hormonal balance. See, these pills contain synthetic female hormones: estrogen and progesterone which alter the functions of your normal body functioning causing your ovaries to be nonfunctional and for that to happen your body under goes quite some changes normally physically and mentally. So, when you stop taking them after being on them for a while, your body has to learn to adjust to using its own hormones which again, causes visible changes like losing or gaining weight and other invisible factors that include your period patterns, anxiety etc. If you seem to be gaining lots of weight after a few weeks of stopping the pill, better get checked by your doctor for better advice.
