Is it possible to lose weight on birth control?

I want to take out my IUD and I’ve had it for about 3ish years. I’m now 27. When I first got it I lost 30lbs from doing nothing. I will say I was dealing with some depression and I wasn’t eating a whole lot, but I’ve tried to diet and struggled to lose weight my whole life, so I was shocked I lost all that weight and didn’t even try. Im scared that when I take my IUD out I’m gonna gain a lot of weight back so I guess my question is, can birth control make you lose and maintain your weight? Or was it more likely to be a coincidence? Has anybody experienced this??
