Sounds more like the birth control pills to me. The loss of your period, the lactation, the weight shift, all of that sounds hormonal. Have you tried going off the pill during this period?
Also, you do know that some criteria for eating disorders require the patiant to have missed at least three periods in a row? That's one definition of anorexia I never matched, though I was more than 25% below normal weight for my size.
Good luck, and talk to your doctor about the bc pills. They have a ton of side effects, but everyone's so used to the idea of them that it's sometimes hard to convince a doctor that something so ubiquitous as the Pill could possibly have any undesireable effects.
