Brief Answer:
Not a side effect of Nebivolol

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Usually Nebivolol doesn't have such side effects on weight gain.
It could be related to other metabolic disorders, stress, sedentary lifestyle or not healthy diet.
Actually gaining weight is very easy and fast, but loosing weight is a long and difficult. But you shouldn't give up. The best variant is to loose weight slowly.
Try to exercise much, go to swimming pool
Avoid stress
Try not to eat after 8pm
Don't drink liquids with meal
Eat frequently with small portions
Chew slowly
Cut the amount of sweets
Don't eat junk food
Don't drink soda
Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables in the morning
Eat more protein for dinner

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
