What Can Cause Weight Gain?

I have put on 12 kg in the last 6 months. I have not changed my diet in the last 5 years and I work out 3 times a week at the gym. I had all tests done and my thyroid glen was 12.3 according the last test. I do not have any sweets, cakes or the junk food. My plate is filed up with fresh vegetables and fish or chicken
Any ideas???
