Hello,
Are you male or female? Which hormone pellets your using?
If it is testosterone, then there is a chance of muscle mass gain and bone mineral density increased to weight gain. If it estrogens or progesterone pellets, it may also can cause weight gain.
Please consult your physician, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
