What Causes Excessive Weight Gain While On Micronor?

I m on micronor mini pill for about 4 months. I m healthy and rarely get sick. I eat fairly well (I think), run about 7km 3 times a week and still gaining weight, so am wondering if it s the pill or just being middle aged (I m 42). If it s the pill will I continue to put on weight till I stop taking it?
