Yeah, for Zyprexa, in the grand scheme of things, 20 lbs is not a lot. People gain on the scale of 100 lbs.
If the benefit really outweighs the risk and all you have gained is 20 lbs, it is the med for you. I hope you will be able to maintain the current weight.
If it is relevant at all, when I was on Zyprexa, I was able to lose some in the end (25 lbs, which was less than what I gained on it, but was still significant). I lost using Ozempic, Topomax, Provigil.
