Hi Sylvia,
A link between lisinopril and weight gain has not been established. In studies on lisinopril, less than 1% of participants reported weight gain. That doesn't mean there's not a link for you. I recommend discussing your options with your physician. Maybe you can be switched to a different medication to see if the weight gain stops or you're able to start losing. If you're weight gain has been very rapid, such as 3-5 pounds a week, this is a possible indication of congestive heart failure. Again, consult with your physician to determine your options.
All the best,
