Tyson, you are in a spot where you do have some control over this issue. Learning about how your body processes food, and especially when you have to use Prednisone... can help control weight concerns.
Prednisone increases blood sugar, and dumps it right into your belly, as fat.
Following a metabolic syndrome targeting diet, will help that.
The Zone is one example (it balances low glycemic carbs with protein and good fats) . It is very useful for diabetics and those with insulin resistance. (which Prednisone creates)
Also sugar is very bad for your health in general. And while you have this extra time, here is a very good video from an Endocrinology clinic from UC medical school about why sugar is toxic to the body (specifically fructose).
This is a long video, but I suspect people who understand how their body is mishandling sugar, would stop drinking sugared sodas and other drinks:
