As long as u r not feeling weak it is fine. It is recommended that the BMI is kept at 23 for Indians. Instead of weight gain u should concentrate on gaining muscles by eating high protein diet and strength training

Metformin is the best drug and can cause 2-3.kg weight loss. U need to worry about that. Still if u want u may consult a diabetologist and get it changed
