You're making a healthy choice by giving up fast food, but that doesn't necessarily translate into weight loss. Anyone will gain weight if they eat more calories than their body burns---even if those calories are from healthy foods. Sometimes, when we give up fatty, salty foods, we overcompensate by eating too much of other foods to get that sense of satisfaction. Perhaps that is what you are doing. You won't know that, though, unless you track your food for a time (e.g., a week) to at least see how many calories you generally consume.
