Birth control pill weight

Just wondering if anyone who gained weight from birth control stopped the birth control and managed to lose the weight with exercise and healthy eating? Or is it impossible? As I came of the pill around 8 months ago and have exercised sporadically although was consistent for 3 months at one point and ate cleaner and haven't seen any changes. Massive confidence knock as the weight gain was alot and so rapid!

Well, I'm not a good example because I actually need to gain weight, but relating to your question, I gained some weight when I was on the pill and lost after I stopped taking the pill. Even without exercises and stuff.
Over eating makes you gain weight not the pill
