If she lost 9 lbs, albeit slowly, wouldn't that be a cut?0

So, i must apologize, my numbers were off just a bit, but it still works out to be the same gain in lean body mass. And this wasn't a DEXA can, it was done with water immersion.
Stats - 39yr old female @ 5'9.
SW, BF%, LBM - 154, 28%, 111
CW, BF%, LBM - 145, 13%, 126
Nutrition - 2200 calories, carbs 40% carbs, 20% fats, 40% protein (yes, I do realize the protein is a bit excessive, lol).
Workout - Crossfit five days a week.
13% is incredibly low - is she a competitive bb'er?
Also, how long had she been lifting for out of interest?

She is not a body builder. Initially, her goal was to get to 18%. Once she got there, she wanted to get to 14% just to see if possible.
Also, no lifting prior to discussions with me. She was a low calorie, cardio queen. And then she found crossfit and really liked it. So crossfit was the beginning of her weight training regime. This is why I mentioned some newbie gains.

Alright, thank you. Either way, she lost actual weight, and gained muscle at the same time, which sounds good to me!

Did she suffer any negative effects from pushing her bf that low?
Did she maintain at that level or was it more of a let's see if we can, accomplish then back off?
She hasn't mentioned any issues.
Below is a breakout over the past 2.5 years.0 -
All, here is a breakout of all the test she had done and timeline. My first post should have read 18 months. That is when she saw the greatest changes. Over the last year, while BF% dropped, her lbm dropped about 1lb.
July 2012 154 @ 24%
Oct 2012 152 @ 21.5%
Mar 2013 153 @ 19.1%
July 2013 151 @ 16.1%
Feb 2014 149 @ 14.6%
Currently 145 @ 13%0 -
