Weight Gain Due To Birth Control - HELP!!!

I have been on the birth control pill (Ortho Tri Cyclen) for a little over a month now and I havent gained too much weight but I have gained some. I know its because of the pill because when I started taking the pills I put on weight within the first few weeks. When it was time for me to take my "sugar pills" (the ones that dont have anything in them) I lost all the weight that I gained. Now that I'm back on the pill with the hormone in it ive gained all the weight back. I used to be over weight and I lost about 40lbs. I weighed 124lbs before I started taking the pill. Now I weigh 130. I'm 17 years old and my prom is next weekend. I had my dress fitted when I weighed 124 and now it doesnt fit me very well anymore. I know this sounds crazy but I am obsessed with my weight. I hate even gaining a pound. The weight that ive gained is driving me crazy. Im doing everything to try and get it off but nothing is working. I work out on the tredmil all the time and I do alot of other exercises too. Its causing me to not drink very much fluid too because I know that thats what is keeping my weight up. Is there another type of birth control pill that doesnt make you retain water? If not, what should I do to get this weight off before prom?

Please help!
