Gaining weight?

[DJFL77I]

I have been gluten free now for about 6 months. Antibody levels dropped from over 100 to 12. 12 was still marked as being high and 0 to 3 as normal. So like nine points from normal..  

Haven't gained any weight yet since being on the gluten-free diet. Not sure if I'm just not eating enough calories since I've only been eating basically fresh foods or because Celiac was still technically active at 12?

Can you clarify which antibody test you are giving results for here? 

To me the fact that your levels dropped so far is a very good sign, and the average time to recovery for celiacs is two years:

 To be sure you are on the right track it might be a good idea to look closely at your diet to make sure you're not getting cross-contamination. If you eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, it's likely that you're not 100% gluten-free, which can prolong or prevent recovery.

tTg IgA

There is some evidence that a dairy intolerance can keep ttg levels high, as was shown in the case of this child:
