Hi Priya
At the outset I wish to make one thing clear. THE COPPER INTRAUTERINE DEVISE THAT YOU HAVE INSERTED HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR BODY WIEGHT.It does not decrease or increase your body weight. So continue using it.

It would be appropriate if you had mentioned your BMI rather than weight alone.If you feel you are putting on weight for no apparent reasons consult endocrinologist. sometimes endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism etc can cause increase in weight. Once they are ruled out you need to take help from nutritionist and personal trainer at gym to reduce your weight.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.If you have any further queries do contact me through healthcare magic.
