Only a sensible diet and regular exercise will result in weight loss. If that is your aim, consider jogging or walking for at least 20-30 minutes a day whilst maintaining a respectable distance from anything that is high in calories and fat. This means fast food by the way which, in my opinion, is absolute POISON if you have healthier alternatives at hand.

If you want to gain weight (e.g. bulking if you're a weightlifter) by building more muscle, you'll need a well balanced weight training regimen and a diet that packs in more calories that you need on a daily basis. Keep it protein heavy, minimise the carbs, and work in plenty of vegetables. You may wish to consider using Google for more specifics.

If you merely wish to gain weight because you think you're too skinny, don't just eat until you get sick. No, no. Not the way to go. Build muscle instead and use THAT instead of fat to pad out your frame.

Well... multivitamins give you nutrients. Some help you grow, some strenghten your immune system. It might make you grow a bit, which would make you gain weight.

But as for making you fat, no.

A multivitamin will not make you do either. It is called a "Supplement" for a specific reason- which is to "Supplement" your already existing good diet with extra nutrients in a convienient way. You need to be careful because there are fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) which if you take too many of you can suffer their symptoms of toxicity. Look there is no shortcuts to losing weight AT ALL. You just need to be consistent in good eating and its not overnight.
