I honestly feel like he WANTS me to keep gaining weight and to be heavier than I wish to be so that I don't look or feel as good as I used to. I think he wants me fat so that I cannot be attractive to other men.
And I am resentful of my husband ..

Regardless if this is true or not, by your own perception, your husband is being abusive. What do you mean he "twists your arm literally"?
If you're choosing to stay in this relationship, I would use this information as ammunition to LOSE THAT WEIGHT. Get your power back by resisting his attempts, knowing he "wants" to keep you in a form that makes "him" feel more secure.
No longer take his advice. Everytime he pushes,
smile, then dig your heels. You've got this!
