You really have a reading comprehension issue.

61 percent could have gone either up or down, and 42% said they gained more weight than they intended, of those that gained some gained more than 10 kg, and a smaller fraction gained more than 50 pounds.

So, what does this say:

(1) that people should adapt their eating habits to their needs

(2) that it is possible to lose weight and to gain weight unintended (which is something that isn't really news, see also: weight watchers and the whole weight loss industry)

(3) that the study did not correct for what would have been the result of the poll had COVID not happen

(4) that the word 'lockdown' that you ascribe to the cause does not appear in the article text, but the word 'stress' does

and finally

(5) that you link to this article because you think it supports your statement above when in fact that really isn't the case.
