Could it be that your cortisol got high?
this will cause you to put on abdominal fat.

The only SSRI that I lost weight on was Celexa. I was on 20mg at the time. But I think my condition actually got worse, so it stopped working and I had to up the dosage, and I put the weight back on at 40mg. I can't explain it. I wasn't dieting nor exercising, weight just disappeared.

I think the key is to keep the dose low wonder if a combo of low dose SSRI's would keep the wt off? Love Phillipa
