Hi. I have been cutting on low carb diet for a while and lost over 60 lbs, I was very happy with the results, still had some fat to burn but I felt like I need to start building some muscle. I gradually increased caloric intake from 1750 to 2400 kcal. So now I am on balanced diet eating 2400-2450 kcal, I gained 10-11lbs within two and half months, of which 7 was during the first month. I cant say I am happy with the results, I gained too much fat, no ab muscles are visible anymore, I am seeing lots of fat on my lower ab and hips. My arm size did not change which is weird, still very small. I gained some strength but it stopped and is not increasing anymore, this should be the time where I increase caloric intake some more. However, I am still gaining some weight and visibly gaining fat with 2450kcal.
I now weight 158/159lbs, training pretty hard FBW 3x per week. Eating 180 protein, 270g carbs, 70g fat.
I am afraid if my body does not do well with carbs after a long period of low carb diet (insulin resistance or something). I also noticed excessive gas problem and skin breakout. I also have lots of stress, possibly anxiety and depression, maybe it has some conflict with my gains.
Not sure what to change and what am I doing wrong.
