What Causes Weight Gain?

I'm 25 years old, 168 cm, and i'm guessing 60kg, as i hate weighing myself these days! I am careful with what i eat, and i exercise heaps! but approx. 10 months ago i started putting on weight, very quickly, and no amount of exercise will shake it. I also came off the pill about 8 months before i began putting on all this weight. i was 52 kg before the weight gain started. I realise this is quite low and i don't want to be this weight again, but would really REALLY like to find a middle ground. I know 60kg doesn't sound like a lot but i have a lot of unattractive excess fat on me, looking in the mirror i find it hard to believe BMI's are any good. Do you think my weight gain is due to shut down metabolism, or coming off the Pill? (i have had every test you can think of, except for a urine test, for cortisol...) Please help?
