if antidepressants don’t contain calories, then how do they make you gain fat?

Seriously, I’ve been trying to lose weight for a year now and fat doesn’t seem to want to burn off. Could this be a hormonal thing maybe? :/

They mess with serotonin, which helps to regulate appetite in addition to your mood. So they make your body think it’s hungry when it normally wouldn’t. Also if you’re less depressed it can be easier to convince yourself to eat. You can try a different antidepressant. Different meds have different side effects.
