The drugs that cause weight gain are usualy those with potent antihistaminic effects..... chlorpromazine, thioridazine, olanzapine, quetiapine, and amitriptyline and mirtazepine in the antidepressant group.
Generaly, the more initial drowsiness a drug causes, the more weightgain it is likely to cause.
Perphenazine, Haloperidol, trifluroperazine cause little sedation and little weight gain.
