I have gained and lost weight plenty of times in my life, always going back to the gym when I think I have let myself go too much.

When I start back up again I can see the definition in my forearms and arms not even 2 weeks back to training. I have barely lost any weight so far but my arms are getting more "muscular" so to speak and I am wondering if this is because my arms are losing fat or the muscles are just getting bigger and showing more through my skin?

This early in your workout a good share of it is water, some of it is fat loss some of it is muscle mass.

The yoyo lifestyle is not the best though. Consistency, even if it's a bit less than ideal is better than the up and down thing.
Also after working out, your muscles will look bigger and firmer, as they are flush with blood.

Good news everyone!
From now on I\'m going to close my curtains before doing jumping jacks in the buff...
