Weight gain is tied to low-level, chronic inflammation or what Dr. Lori Shemek calls "fatflammation."
In order to lower your fatflammation, you need to reduce carbohydrate and sugar intake (or cut out sugar altogether) and avoid the SAD way of eating (Standard American Diet). You also need to stay hydrated. The brain confuses thirst with hunger. Cellular function, including metabolism, slows down when your body is not properly hydrated.
Exercise is important as well. Dr. Lori advises High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which can be completed in 12-15 minutes.
