Hi! Welcome! (are you an aussie or kiwi cyster? Not that it matters but I am curious lol)
Doctors may not have mentioned Metformin to you because you're not terribly overweight (although i don't know how tall you are! lol) so may not suspect that you are IR. Its not a weight loss drug but if you are IR it might help you move those few kilos seeing as your exercise and eating sounds to be on track.
But if you can confidently link your weight gain to the pill why not try a different one? Are you on it primarily for the facial hair or contraception? There are other drugs available if you are using it just for the facial hair. The name escapes me but I'm sure someone else will help me out!
BTW, I tried Met and came off it (despite losing weight) because my diet was pathetic. I was limited by what I could eat on it without having terrible side effects - ie trips to the bathroom!
