Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'weight' (amount of heaviness) and 'gaining' (increasing), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the process of increasing body weight or muscle mass. This is a regular compositional noun phrase (cf. 'weight gain' / 'gaining weight') and matches common cross-linguistic patterns, making it immediately understandable to B1 learners.
Etymology
Weight gaining comes from the simple picture of adding more weight to your body, like putting plates on a scale or lifting heavier weights at the gym. So weight gaining means 'to increase body weight' or 'to build muscle' during training.
