A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ascites: Ascites occurs as a result of several serious medical illnesses which don't appear likely in your case. New weight often is deposited in the abdominal area which is a more likely scenario in your case. An ultrasound of the abdomen can reassure you if you're still concerned about abdominal pathology.
