I am currently on nexplanon, i have gained some weight. i can still feel my nexplanon, but not as much because of the weight gain. does gaining weight while on nexplanon make it less effective?

No, you should be fine. A 2020 review of birth control studies factoring in body weight concluded that obesity does not influence the efficacy of most hormonal birth control methods. Take care.
