How soon in a pregnancy do you start to gain weight?

I just found out via home pregnancy test that I am pregnant. I have an appt with my obgyn tomorrow so I’m not sure how many weeks, but I have noticed that in one week I have gone from 135 to 142. (I’m 5’2) My appetite has increased, but is it weight i’m gaining cuz of my appetite, or the baby?
