Hello Renee,
Check this website:

Per medicine, you can view the "common side effects". For example
carbamazepine does not seem to have weight gain as a common side effect:

My experience is that the only way to somehow control your weight gain, is
by looking at what you daily food consumption is, avoiding the word "too"
(too much / too less in relation to food), start moving around for one half
a hour per day (sporting may be a better word as a description but moving
might be OK as well).
Hopefully that works out for you.

Signature
Take care.
Bye,
Marco
