Gaining weight and changing shape is a huge part of puberty, but big changes are always a good thing to talk through with a parent or a doctor.
Your body does so much growing around age ten, and puberty hormones literally change how and where your body stores fat, how tall you get, and how your bones grow. Food is fuel for your growing body, so dieting or trying to eat less is not the move right now. Your body needs regular meals and energy to do all that behind-the-scenes building.
Because bodies grow at totally different speeds and in totally different ways, numbers on a scale don't tell you what's actually happening inside. A grown-up or a doctor can look at your overall growth pattern over time and make sure everything is going smoothly, without any weird pressure or diets.
If you're feeling worried or stressed about your changing body, talking to a parent or a doctor you trust is honestly the best next step.
