Weight changes are not a symptom of fibromyalgia as such but might well be of secondary consequence.
Some people understandably comfort eat when in pain, others have no appetite because of it. The inactivity caused by fibromyalgia might cause weight gain, although some exercise is a good pain management tool and fibromyalgia patients with a stubborn streak will keep moving.
Depression often results from pain and increases sugar cravings, so it's a complicated picture which can only be answered on an individual basis.
I hope that is of help.
Best wishes
