Birth Control weight gain

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

Hi, I got a birth control implant in May and got it taken out three weeks ago because of weight gain. It still has been hard to cut down the weight ever since and I have only been eating lean meat and fish avoiding all carbs. Is this because of hormone problems?
