10+lb weight gain in 4 yr old daughter

10+lb weight gain in 4 yr old daughter

My daughter is 4 yrs 11 months and has gained a little over 10 lbs since January, mostly around her mid section. It's been quite drastic and she is calling herself fat now. :(  I'm having a hard time finding clothes to fit her. I have mentioned it to her doctor and he didn't seem alarmed. Her diet hasn't changed much and her activity is the same. Just wondering if there is anything she should be tested for that could be causing this weight gain. Thanks for your input.
