If they are fighting, separate them immediately. Set up two tanks and let then live alone. Chinese hamsters are solitary animals and should not be in pairs.

It's only difficult to tell their gender when they're very young. Once they reach maturity, it's very easy to tell which hamsters are male (they have balls, to put it bluntly). If your hamsters are DEFINITELY female, then the weight gain and lethargy may be a result of stress from being in a fighting situation.
