freshman 15, but if your eating healthy and exercising there might be something wrong with your metabolism (endocrine problems can cause weight gain; see hypothyroidism- common in women, not so much in males), I hate seeing people say to cut out all carbs... cut that out then your body will do the reverse and thinks it's starving and start making ketones (my mum did this, stopped eating fruits, pastas, bread, just ate proteins, she lost a lot of weight, but she almost went blind due to the beginning of cataracts by doing this), eat small meals, high in fiber 3 hours apart to keep your metabolism going, keep exercising, if you can't keep the weight off; talk to your family physician and he might be able to recommend and/ or diagnose the problem. After the age of 18 you should expect to gain about 1 lbs/ year due to normal metabolism slow down; you would need to start changing your exercise routine to compensate. Also are you gaining fat? or Muscle? muscle does weight more than fat
Is it normal to put on weight at 18?
