Femodette pill and weight gaining

Like lots of people, I was moved onto Femodette after Loestrin 20 was discontinued. It's been better than some others I've tried and overall I feel like the side effects are mild and manageable. But lately I've had more mood swings and I feel for the first time I've gained weight just around my middle (I've always been a healthy eater and never struggled with weight gain before). Maybe it's just my age (now early 30s) but I do wonder if this pill brand has an effect. I always look bloated and it's hard to shift.

Getting used to this pill was no issue really how ever I noticed my emotions are very bad and I’m now quite sensitive to everything which I never really used to be. My sex drive wasn’t affected that much until I decide to stop taking a break which is said to be ok after the 2/3rd month my sex drive had completely gone. Periods are regular and short which is a positive

This pill didn’t cause any massive negative effects initially as I transferred from Loestrin 20 which is a similar strength. I struggle to maintain weight on this pill, it feels like a constant battle not to gain weight, I am a healthy eater so it should not be so hard. I do have enlarged breasts on this, partly because of weight gain. I definitely have decreased mood, I generally feel quite down with little energy most of the time. Sex drive has disappeared. My periods have stayed lighter and manageable, some cramping but only the first day. Overall the side effects are manageable but not ideal.
