What am I doing wrong?

[princesunshine]

About a year ago I weighed 170, at 5'6 with a small build. So I was overweight. I worked out and got down to 135. I was eating right and working out 3x a week and I was able to maintain my weight. I moved overseas where I maintained my weight there. Now, I have moved back to America, have been back for 4 months. I've worked out daily, cardio and things like yoga. 3-5x a week. I also have a very active full time job. I lift hwavy objects (30+ lbs) and am on my feet for 8 hours a day. But I've gained 10lbs. I haven't gained muscle, its fat. Its jiggly, and from eixperience I know for sure that its fat.

I still eat right. I was told that I wasn't eating enough calories, so I upped my calories for a while.
Which hasn't helped. I drink 3+ liters of water a day.

What am I doing wrong? I've stayed steadily around 144-146 for a while now and would really love some input on how to break out of this rut.

Are you retaining water? Do you have any signs of edema?

You might want to think about getting some simple blood tests to check thyroid function.  Weight gain is one of the primary symptoms of hypothyroidism.
