Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and it is actually not known to cause significant weight gain. In clinical trials, after 6 months of use, most people have gained less than 0.6kg.

It may be just your body adjusting to your current diet and exercise regimen. This can happen with any plan, like this, and it can cause weight loss to slow.
