Steroids can cause water to accumulate in the body resulting in a bloated appearance. I suspect most of the weight that you have gained is water. Exercise and calorie restriction diet won't eliminate the excess water. You need to have your kidney function checked. Also ask your doctor if he can prescribe you diuretics to help eliminate some of the excess water. Grapefruit juice is a natural diuretic that you can try without a prescription.
