Weight gain issues

Before pregnancy I was a steady 115 lbs at 5’6”. Not ultra skinny but I’ve always been more on the slender side. Now I am only 16 weeks pregnant and am already up to 132 lbs! I’ve been eating more than usual due to a persistent horrible metallic taste in my mouth that only goes away when I eat. However, I don’t think I’ve been eating excessively enough to justify a 17 lb weight gain this quickly. What on earth is going on? How do I slow it down? I really need some advice.
