There is a protein which is a central regulator of metabolism called AMPK, when it gets phosphorylated in the brain it increases appetite. Some of the antipsychotics can induce phosphorylation of AMPK. So basically antipsychotics make you hungry more so you gain weight.

I don't know how the losing weight works.
