Have you been sleeping less?  Try going to bed at 9:30 so you can be asleep by 10pm. They say if you don't get atleast 4 to 5 steady hours of sleep it can cause weight gain. And worse.  How is your stress level? Period problem? New medicines, check side effects.  Eatting before bed? Bad... Have I come close to any problem yet? Thanks for inviting me to be your friend.  Write back so we can figure something out.  Sharon

Are you taking new meds?  Hormones, Birth control etc.  Check your thyroid. Diabetes. This really sounds like it could be a hormone  or thyroid issue.  Usually meds are a big culprit with weight gain and even complexion,.  
Good luck Sweetie.

There is a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and it can cause acne, weight gain and many other symptoms.

Here's a link on this condition and all of the symptoms:
