You have doubled your fat cells that now want to be filled. Once they are full they will double again. So if your lean weight was originally 120 + 15 pounds fat, now you have 30 pounds of fat.
If your fat cells double again you’ll gain up to 180 pounds before you plateau after filling the new fat cells. Next plateau would at 240 pounds. This is why weight gain is exponential, not additive.
Building muscle may help stabilize your metabolism.
