packed on

Put on extra

Packed on describes weight or muscle that has been added to the body, usually noticeably or in quantity: He packed on twenty pounds over the holidays, She's been hitting the gym and packed on some serious muscle.

The phrase suggests accumulation—the weight didn't appear gradually but was added in a measurable way.
