I doubt it... if your a healthy eater, and do some excersise here and there... you'll be fine. I have been taking it for almost 4 years and im not a fat ***. If you do nothing and get fat, you can hardly blame finasteride.
Or If you eat Pizza like Tynan then you'll end up as fat as him... f*****g fat!

probably not....exess weight gain is an extremely rare side effect that occurs in much fewer than 2% of cases. I've heard of a few people complaining about some stuff...but it seems like it may be in their head a lot of the time. Sometimes that sh*t DOES happen..but could dissapear once treatment is discontinued. I have had very good results with finasteride and beleive that the benefits far outweigh the potential risks. If youre very concerned about your hairloss...i'd go on finasteride...it can work wonders. Its a pretty good gamble and safe bet. Check with a doctor rather than strangers on the internet if youre really concerned though.
Good luck!

Found this study and didnt want to make an extra thread
"
Results: D, but not F, impaired insulin sensitivity. During high-dose insulin, the M value (mean steady state glucose infusion rate) decreased with D vs both control and F, by 10.1 mg/kg fat-free mass/min (−16.3; −3.9; P=0.002); signifying impaired skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. Glucose and glycerol rates of appearance during low-dose insulin were unchanged. Tracer infusion alone induced hyperinsulinaemia only with D by 11 pmol/l (3; 20; P=0.009). D increased HOMA-IR and fasting C-peptide by 15% (3; 27; P=0.015), and 114.5 pmol/l (31.5; 197.6; P=0.007) respectively. Fasting glucose, cholesterol, body mass index, waist:hip ratio and blood pressure were unaltered. Body fat (bioimpedance) increased 2.6% (0.9; 4.2; P=0.003) with D. Post-treatment visceral and subcutaneous adipose volumes (magnetic resonance imaging; L4/5), and hepatic fat (1H spectroscopy), were unchanged. Serum adiponectin, resistin, IL8, and MCP1 were unchanged, however leptin increased 44% (16; 73; P=0.03) with D. In all indices F was not different to control.
Conclusion: 5αR inhibition with dutasteride, but not finasteride, impairs peripheral (principally muscle) insulin sensitivity, and increases body fat and leptin. 5αR1 inhibition is potentially detrimental to metabolic health; this may have important implications for BPH treatment."

Fun fact:
If you combine duta with t injections it gets actually benefical and improves insulin resistance and possible bodyfat percentage
"CONCLUSIONS: The combination of T plus dutasteride improved body composition and IS while T alone improved body composition but not IS, suggesting that when T is administered to men, reduction to DHT attenuates the beneficial effects of aromatization to E2 on IS but not body composition."
