Will birth control pills help me gain weight?

I've heard many people complain about undesired weight gain from birth control pills. Well I DESIRE weight gain as I have lost too much weight (I'm 5'2 and have went from 90 to 72 lbs). I haven't taken birth control in a year cause it stopped making me menstruate (the whole reason I was taking it) and because my spouse and I weren't having sex.

If I start taking it again, could it make me gain weight? Could it bring my libido back? And if it doesn't give me my period, is that ok? Should I still take it?

The type is called Gilded FE 1.5/30 (norethindrone acetate & ethinyl estradiol tablets, USP and ferrous fumarate tablets, USP)
