What is making me so bloated?

I wore a lovely, floaty summer dress to work today and felt fab until I caught sight of my reflection and saw, to my horror, I look about 4 or 5 months pregnant. I'm most deffinatley not pregnant, but have noticed I look very bloated almost all the time now.
I have put a bit of weight on recently, bit I'm still only just over 10 stone and I'm 5foot6, so still only a size 10. It doesn't look like the weight has only landed on my tummy either, it's sort of spread proportionally, just that I have a ridiculously round tummy 😔
I have no history of food intolerance (or even looking particularly bloated up until about 4 months ago), and no symptoms of anything like that other than the round tummy. Is it just that I've gained a couple of pounds?

No idea but Im the same weight and also have the pregnant looking bloated belly :( it went away when I had no appetite one day so I do think it's gas or something. An elimination diet (6weeks without common triggers) can help you figure it out but it's so long to do.

Let me know if you find out. I think mines wheat :/
