HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are perimenopausal or menopausal then it would contribute to your fatigue and mood swings.
Smoking cessation can contribute to weight gain because smoking can suppress the appetite but if you alter your diet and activity level then no further weight gain will occur and you may be able to lose any weight gained.
I hope this helps
