<p>Isn't gaining weight as a teenage very normal? That's how your body develops. Why was Itsuki annoyed?</p>

This isn't really an anime-oriented trope, or question.  It comes up in anime because it comes up in society as a body image issue.  Gaining weight may be undesirable for any number of social pressure reasons, but there are some subversions to this in some cases.  In the general, this is just typical teenager behavior.

Well gain weight really just means get fat but...

Translation? In the manga Fuutarou says actually 'fat', not just weight. But eh that's just my manga's translation.

Let's see the Japanese...

It says '太るぞ (ふとるぞ)' and then Itsuki says 'ふとっ...' (I think it's the small っ not the large つ.)
