Hi, pambis!
It can go either way. If you experience any weight change it's more likely to be weight loss although a smaller number of people may gain weight:
"Metabolic
Very common (10% or more of users): Decreased weight (up to 16%), decreased appetite (up to 16%)
Common (1% to 10% of users): Increased weight"
