From my own experience, a pound a week average, for 3.5 years, is very realistic. I hate it when stories have unrealistic gains.
I don't know the context or plot, obviously, so I don't know if this is info is given to the reader to establish a background for the character who is now an adult or if it centers around the 3.5 years. If it's background info, an average works. If the story takes place during the 3.5 years, well, life is rarely that linear and things happen. Even if being deliberately fed, they may gain less than the average sometimes and more than the average other times - unless they are a captive being force fed or something. If they are just living normal life, then they may get sick, have a stressful year at school, had to take a more active class like dance or gym, maybe they travel, maybe they go on a cruise, maybe something happens and they focus on the feeding a little less for a period... Or set a goal and really focus on it. Maybe the feeder gets distracted with a new job or a family member who's injured or sick and needs extra care.... All kinds of possibilities that could average out to a pound a week.
I must say, the fact your character is starting at 14 already has my curiosity peeked - if we are following the character through the 3.5 years. Pretty much every story has all adult characters but my own interest in this topic started around 11 or 12, that I can remember. Many others on here have stated they discovered this long before adulthood. It'd be refreshing to read a good story reflecting that reality as well.
Have fun writing! :-)
