Most pyschotropic meds carry the risk of weight gain. All SSRI's and SNRI's have this listed as a side effect. If Effexors working for you, despite the 12 lbs, I'd be happy! When I was on Paxil, my appetite went through the roof and I gained roughly 10 pounds over 3 years time, but I was feeling great. I'd get on a weight/cardio program just to keep your weight level. Weight gain is inevitable with the meds. It's a small price to pay for happiness :)
