Hi
History of AKI per se won’t affect your weight gain.
Weight gain could be due multiple factors including stress, thyroid issues and PCOD.
As Dr Lakshmi has suggested you may seek help of endocrinologist and monitor renal functions at least once in 6 months

Aki can put u at a higher risk of ckd...so u need to keep checking ur rft and urine routine every 4 to 5 months.
If these r normal, then it's not the reason for ur weight gain.
There are medicines u can take for pcod which will help with weight loss
U can visit an endocrinologist who will evaluate u to see if there are any other treatable causes for ur weight gain
