Answer 1

the likely reason behind your recent weight gain is that you would be losing fat but gaining muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. Don't be upset if you gain a little bit of weight after going to the gym a lot it is normal for muscles to start getting stronger and therefore bigger which leads to more weight.

this is my understanding as i am not a professional but i have been in your position before.
