Struggling with Weight Gain on Sertraline

Hello! I'm new to Alikes and am just figuring out how it works. About 4 years ago I started taking Sertraline for anxiety and have gained about 50 pounds since. I have lots of food allergies, exercise 3 - 4 times per week, and cannot seem to lose weight. Anyone in that boat? I want to come off the SSRI but my doctor seems reluctant as she feels the medication and weight gain are unrelated.

From what I know, sertaline isn’t known to increase weight, maybe only a few pounds
