How tall is she? How much does she weigh? Is she on ANY medications? Was she heavy when you started dating her?

Has she been to a doctor to get an extensive check up? There are many reasons we women gain weight and then cant get it off again, I know of what I speak. 3 months for me of working out 6 days a week, making more healthy choices on what I eat...grilling instead of frying, steaming veggies etc and I have managed to lose a whopping 12 pounds.
I'd love to hear her side of this

Birth control may effect weight or a bunch or other drugs do.
12 pounds is 42000 calories and I would agree that is a perfect maintainable and healthy weight-loss plan. You aren't doing something that you couldn't stick with.
For the OP, I would agree that you both need to give up beer (I'm not sure if you said you drank or not). It isn't fair for her to have to give up something if you keep doing it in front of her. Give up soda and high-fructose corn syrup as well, artificial sweeteners too. It will be tough for the first week to drink just water, but you will save money. You can blame the high-fructose corn syrup for most of the massive increase in obesity
Two, think of this as an engineering/physical training problem. She may not need to know your plan just now, but do physical activities 7 days a week (just start slow). Whether it is talking a walk around the neighborhood, exercising, anything that isn't sitting or sleeping. If she doesn't want to go, you have to go without her. After a week, if she doesn't go with you, it is time to say "I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who won't do stuff with me." Look up a lot more info on exercise plans on-line.
What you eat and drink will have the biggest effect on it. Drink a lot more water and natural foods. If it grows in the wild, you can eat it in it's natural state.
