Postpartum weight loss?

Hi guys, first time posting. I’d like to start my fitness story by saying that there’s a lot of factors involved in my weight gain/loss, and I’d like some advice.

6 months ago, I had a baby. She’s perfect and healthy, but my pregnancy was really har on both of us. I was a freshman in college, and this was not planned. Before I was pregnant, I was heavier (155 on a 5 ft frame) but not unhealthily so. I was also doing the whole diet exercise thing right before. While pregnant, I was severely sick. I was vomiting 10-15 time a day. I couldn’t hold down water, and on multiple occasions, was hospitalized so they could put fluids in me. This was my reality up until I gave birth. The sickness, along with the stress of being a teen mom, and other issues made me incredibly depressed. I lost 35 pounds in my pregnancy, and was bed bound for at least 5 months. My legs were affected badly, as the lack of use along with the lack of nutrition made it to where walking or standing for longer than an 15-20 minute shower was painful. I’m now 7 months postpartum, and I am back to the weight I had prior to pregnancy, and despite breastfeeding, am seeming to continue to gain weight. I am on Nexplanon for birth control, and have recently been exercising regularly, along with eating healthier. My question is, could my birth control have something to do with my rapid weight gain? And any advice for postpartum mom weight loss?
