For reasons not well-understood, there are obese women with PCO and slim women with PCO. Predicting whether you'll gain in the future is not possible at this time.

By the way, were you diagnosed after an exam? Did you have any bloodwork?

You might want to check recent posts on PCO from this month to get a couple of suggestions on links that can provide further information or support.
