Vitamin B complex itself has zero calories, so it cannot directly cause fat gain. However, it improves your metabolism and can increase your appetite, which might lead to eating more if you aren't mindful.

Don't stress too much, buddy! It won't make you gain weight out of nowhere. It just helps your body convert food into energy better, so any weight change is usually just from eating more because you feel more active.

Please ask your physician clearly about why they prescribed it. Some people feel they are gaining weight because of fluid retention, but only a doctor can explain if it's the supplement or something else.

My son was prescribed B complex because he was feeling very weak, and his appetite definitely improved after that. It didn't make him gain unhealthy weight, it just brought his healthy appetite back.
