Brief Answer:
Water weight
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the information
Weight gain do not occur over a day or two. Its a relatively slow process. If u are seeing fluctuations in weight over daily basis, it could well be due to change in the water levels in the body.
Yes, your weight gain of 10 to 12 kgs is a matter of concern.
Metabolism usually means the chemical reactions which occur in the body which go in two directions as below
Catabolism, which means buring of food nutrients to produce energy, where weight is lost.
Anabolism, which means laying down the nutrients into body tissues, increasing body weight.
Such weight gain in you could be pathological, i would recommend blood tests to find out the cause.
I suggest first to go with Thyroid hormone analysis.
