Yes steroids do increase weight also besides other harmful effects like hair loss, thinning of bones, fats around abdomen etc
Talk to your doctor
If dose can be reduced or steroids can be stopped slowly
Weight gain can be irreversible
Health Tips
reduce salt intake and take more potassium through citrus fruits like oranges and lemon juice and water with honey on empty stomach every morning
