Exercising but now gaining?

lexygirl18 posted:

I'm 18 years old, when I was like 16, I was very overweight, then I started to change my diet and started to exercise. I've lost over 90 pounds, and stayed at a consistent 125 pounds, but now it seems like I'm gaining weight. The scale says 130 but I haven't changed my diet or anything. I eat about 1,500 calories a day and I work out every single day. I started taking up a lot of cardio and pilates and I'm not quite sure if this is muscle I'm gaining or if my body is telling me that I'm not receiving enough calories. I drink plenty of water, some green tea and I sleep. I have 6 small, well balanced meals a day and I'm just curious what everybody thinks.
