Default Metformin question

After walking off 50 lbs over a couple of years I started metformin. I
didn't change my diet
or exercise but gained 30 lbs back in 3 months. When I stoped taking
metformin my weight
gain stoped but those 30 lbs stayed with me so I don't think it was
watter weight gain. I know
metformin usualy helps people lose a few pounds I just wonder why it
caused ME to gain weight.
At the time my A1C was 6.1 my colesterol was about 190 with a
tri. of ~121 LDL ~115
HDL ~60 I don't rember the exact numbers. Anyone know why it could
have caused me to
gain weight?
