Common sense weight : It is physically impossible to gain weight on 1200 calories a day. You might have added wrong. Are you constipated? Think about it...you can only gain as much weight as the physical weight of what you take in minus what you excrete. Exercise plus daily caloric requirements should burn up 1200 calories.
