Both can be used. Saying 'every time' seems to gives emphasis that there's a time or place where the observation is more pronounced.

I keep getting fatter, is a very natural way of saying this. For help I would suggest going to a gym and spending at least a half an hour each day on a rowing machine. You will keep getting thinner.

I keep gaining weight. I keep getting heavier. I'm steadily gaining weight. Remember that while fat = gordo in a literal sense, in usage the meaning is a lot more nuanced. Culturally "gordo" is not nearly as offensive in Spanish as "fat" is in English. I tend to translate "gordo" using heavy or weight when possible, unless it is clear that it is intended to be a direct insult. "mi gordito" is a term of endearment and should never be translated "my little fatty" which would be offensive/insulting. EDIT: "I keep getting fatter" is fine, especially since you're talking about yourself, but is more informal, and would be insulting if talking about someone else.
