How does ascites and weight gain look different? i'm generally thin but have rapidly developed what looks like bloating? hard to fit in my jeans.

Ascites=fluid wt=fat: As cites generally refers to fluid accumulation which may increase your overall weight but true weight gain traditionally refers t increased amounts of fat shotgun it can be caused by an increase in lean body mass (predominantly muscle) or fluid.

VS: Ascites can look like massive swelling of the abdomen whereas weight gain usually has a more generalized distribution. Ascites occurs in someone who is ill - are you ill?
