You may want to speak to a local statistician who can offer better
advice than me over email.

I don't know what your experimental design is, what are the controls -
is it time 1, or is time 1 baseline, time 2 after treatment, and you
have cases and controls? Are you interested in genes that relate to
weight in general, or genes whose change with respect to intervention
relates to change in weight with respect to intervention (you seem to
indicate both in what you wrote but they are two different questions)?
