Time: Methylprednisalone is a steroid and one of its side effects is to cause weight gain. Hopefully, your back pain is better and you can be more active. Give it a month or so and i think you will find your weight coming off.

Rehab: Your were inactive due to pain issues and steroids side effect is a weight gain. Now when your are better your activity level will go up and lack of steroids should also help. If you can hire a personal trainer, he can tune you up very quickly. Ask your physician of possible rehab therapy.
