When someone suddenly gains 9 kg in 2–3 months even after dieting, walking 6–8 km daily and having normal blood tests, it usually means the body has gone into **metabolic slowdown**. This happens after long or strict dieting. The body starts storing more fat even with less food, and weight comes back very fast.
It is not a disease and it does not show in sugar, thyroid, liver or kidney tests. It is a **metabolic adaptation** problem.
Other common reasons are low protein intake, stress-related hormones, poor sleep, long calorie restriction, or repeated dieting for many months. Even if she is eating very little, she can still gain because the body reduces metabolism to protect itself.
The solution is not more dieting. She needs a **reverse diet** for a few weeks, meaning slightly increasing calories in a controlled way, improving protein intake, adding strength-based home exercises and then restarting weight loss gradually. This method stops fast weight regain.
I can help guide her step by step and create a plan based on her current routine and eating pattern. Please consult me for a better solution.

Hi
Thanks for sharing in detail. Are there any other hormonal changes or gut health issues? Also it depends on how rapidly she lost the 30 kgs and how.
If it was a crash diet, then chances are the weight will return.

Your walking daily , and eating controlled diet -so gaining weight despite doing everything right usually means something deeper is going on …
Possible reasons
1.Hidden Hormonal imbalances
2. Under -eating or wrong diet composition
3. Sleep -stress
Less sleep 7 hours sleep or irregular timings increases
Gherlin and cortisol -weight gain even with exercise
4. Muscle VsFat
If you are just walking or changed routine, some weight
Gain might be from muscle development
5. Gut health:
Poor digestion, bloating, constipation can make you feel
And look heavier due to water retention and inflammation
Diet
Protein: including protein rich
Fiber -add vegetables and fruits
Avoid hidden sugars
Balance carbs - add complex carbs
Hydration: 2.5-3 lit water per day and add herbal teas
