it looks like you/you look like you

[Gabriel Malheiros]

Hi, everyone

Which one is correct? It looks like or you look like?

"It looks like you put on some weight"
or
"You look like you put on some weight"

Thank you so much

Both are correct. If you bent over and your pants tore I would say, 'It looks like..'
On the other hand I greet you and say, 'hey, you look like...'

Even though it might sound like "you put on some weight," I think the general intention is "you've put on some weight."

Is there much difference? Could you explain me?

"you've" is grammatically correct here, but can be spoken so quickly that the "'ve" almost disappears, even if you intend it – "you" is very common.
