A member asked:

How do i know if weight gain is fat or muscle or water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight gain: If it were water you would find that pressing your skin will leave a dent. If it were fat you can press it but it won't leave a dent. If it were muscle you and everyone else would notice it. Weight gain can occur from water retention but that is very uncommon at age 22.
