I've always tended to gain or lose more slowly in the extremes of winter/summer than in spring/fall. It most likely has to do with decreased activity .. since both extreme cold or extreme heat/humidity will keep me indoors and feeling sluggish.
But .. to explain a sudden recent gain as opposed to a gradual winter-long thing .. it may be due to dry heated indoor air .. your body is holding onto water in your cells because the air is SO dry around you. Not sure if you're drinking lots of water, but that may be helpful. I know in the cold we want hot beverages, not cold water .. but coffee and strong tea might not be ideal. Maybe try herbal teas or green teas, but make them quite dilute so your getting extra water that way.
You might also consider getting a humidifier for your home, even a small portable one next to your desk makes a big difference.
