Dr. Bassem Tanios Nephrology
weight gain can be secondary to multiple reasons, including some medications with will affect the metabolism, and some metabolic disorders such as hypothyroidism. Rapid weight gain however can be a sign of fluid retention. For example if someone has a cardiac, liver or renal problem , this may lead to fluid retention in the body, which will lead to weight gain, and usually edema ( swelling involving the limbs and other parts of the body). 
I advise you to see your doctor as several blood tests would be required if a metabolic cause is suspected. In addition a review of your medications is warranted to assess if any may contribute to your weight gain. And if edema or fluid retention is present a proper investigation would be started to identify the cause.
