weight change
Body mass adjustment
Weight change is any increase or decrease in how much something or someone weighs.
The term appears frequently in medical and fitness contexts: The medication may cause weight change.
It serves as a neutral alternative when the direction of change is unknown, variable, or deliberately unspecified—covering both weight gain and weight loss in a single term.
