Not to be alarmist, but unexpected weight gain in the abdominal area can sometimes be caused by growths in the abdomen. One of the more serious ones is ovarian cancer.
If your eating habits haven't changed, it might be worth checking out, just in case.

Expertise
First things first: I WILL NOT ASK QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO AN INJURY OR SORE AREA ON YOUR BODY, please seek medical advice from a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor. I can answer questions specifically for mile to 5K distances, preferably in regards to HS and recreational runners, since I coach JH/HS age athletes, and train recreationally-based runners (those who simply run for the enjoyment of it, not super-competitive). I am also an expert in doing training with the assistance of a GPS speed & distance monitor, in tracking speeds, paces, and distances for measurements in intensity & volume of your workouts precisely. My main running site is http://endure.speeddialcoach.com
