I've been fortunate. I moved to a new town in February of 2018. I didn't have any family or friends here. I started gaining, and the only people who noticed were my co-workers. A couple of them have mentioned my weight, but more out of concern or curiosity. It's just not a big deal.
I did have some friends in town who would comment on my weight, and ask me if I planned to try losing weight. I just said, "maybe," and that has been that. From a social standpoint, gaining has been easy for me.
My family did get to see me at a heavier weight earlier in the year, but nobody said anything at all.
