Did Skyler gain weight in Season 3?
Skylar White, or Anna Gunn if you may, was actually suffering from her illness which lead to the apparent weight gain. It was not for any other role or pregnancy. In her own words, "I was actually ill while I was filming the show and it affected my weight. They gave me cortisone and I puffed up and gained weight.
“They gave me cortisone and I puffed up and gained weight. Now I'm better, thank God.” Though she declined to disclose further details as to what she suffered from, the now healthy actress added, “I'm doing fine, thankfully. I'm feeling really good.”
Anna Gunn was prescribed steroids to treat lupus; fluid retention is one of the side effects.
Skyler starts out blue, but turns dark once she starts to figure out Walt's secret. Her timeline turns deep blue, almost purple, as her flirtation with Ted grows, and then it turns green once she discovers Walt's stash of money.
Skyler's rationale for remaining silent is two-fold: She does not want her children to find out about their father's double life, and she fears that Walt's arrest could ruin Hank's career as a DEA agent. She also demands that Walt move out of the family's home.
Although her character wasn't expecting, Skylar White — portrayed by the decidedly not pregnant Anna Gunn — was.
Breaking Bad – Skyler White is the Whiny Karen
And how the mighty fell in subsequent seasons. Skyler went from a caring matriarch to a whining, screaming Karen who hated it when she didn't get what she wanted. The character is so hated upon because of her clumsiness while trying to be smug.
In “Cornered,” Skyler White drives to the Four Corners with her infant daughter and flips a coin, presumably in an attempt to decide which state to flee to as she contemplates leaving Walt.
Throughout the series, Marie is almost always shown wearing the color purple, which creator Vince Gilligan explained is symbolic of her being misled; for example, Walt and Skyler were deluding Marie about who was behind the drug business.
However, these yellow shirts do not only help illustrate Gus's perfectionist attitude. They also reflect his paranoia. In color theory, yellow is associated with deceit and betrayal, something that Gus constantly fears.
Why is Marie's stuff purple?
In Breaking Bad, Purple is primarily worn by Marie and it is used to symbolize protection, self-deception, and complete lack of involvement in the meth trade. Marie often wears the color purple to show her self-deception.

Weight changes — Lupus can sometimes cause weight loss or weight gain. Weight loss may be unintentional and due to decreased appetite or problems with the digestive system (see 'Digestive system' below). It can also be a side effect of some medications used to treat lupus.
In the series finale, Skyler is shown living in a government safehouse, working as a taxi dispatcher under her maiden name, and serving as the focus of a criminal investigation for her role in Walt's drug empire.
Walt's world crumbles even more after finding out that Skyler is cheating on him.
