I gained weight.
Back in the day women obtained the right to vote.
This food is an acquired taste.

@bg1123 Thank you for your answer. So those can be all replaced each other? Or is each word used in specific context? I’m also wondering if there is some difference between them in terms of formality.

Obtained and acquired are more formal to use in sentences, but they are all synonyms of one another and can be used accordingly.
