Hi. I have two questions about weight gain.

I gained 22 pounds over the summer through exercise and diet. But after stopping exercise for 2 months, I have lost 18 pounds but have now stopped losing more weight. Can anyone tell me why this happened and how to prevent it in the future?

Also how much fat would you gain if you did not exercise, but added more calories(500) to a diet?

To prevent it in the future, don't stop exercising.
You lost weight because you stopped eating as much. You probably weren't as hungry because you weren't doing as much physical activity.

If you didn't exercise, pretty much all of the weight gained would fat.
