Weight gain normal?

Is it normal to weight 2-3kg more at 18 than 16. I swear it was so easy to maintain a lower weight than it is now and I’m only 2 years older. I’m not overweight or anything just preferred it at a lower weight.
Yes. You are still growing and developing at that age.
I’m nearly 21 and I’m the same weight I was at 16 and lighter than I was at 14. It’s definitely possible to maintain the same weight but would require more effort as your metabolism/body changes
