Answer
alex;

failure to menstruate is called amenorrhea. however,theres a small possibility that you have a hormonal abnormality that causes the absence of periods[amenorrhea]. consult  a doctor,especially if other changes are developing,as you gaining weight.
but you have had a period but just not in a few months,correct? so most likley this is secondary amenorrhea.
theres several explanations for this as well;
-polycystic ovary
-obesity
-losing weight,in a short period of time
-exercising to much
-being under alot of stress
-medication side effects
