Your weight gain is because of your steroids. But keep a healthy lifestyle along so that the weight gain is restricted and you start losing weight. Make necessary dietary changes and combine it with 45-60 min brisk walk / exercise. Focus on higher protein intake, lower fat and restrict carbohydrates to complex ones only. Avoid simple sugars. 'Eat Out' less and have good quantity of fresh foods (Fruits, Vegetables)which are not processed. Have plenty of water and sleep well.
