I used to weigh 133lbs last year, now I'm 144lbs but my measurements are the same. I haven't been lifting weights or exercising. The only thing that's different is that I'm on my feet and walking around for 10 hours at work.

    It is possible the weight gained went in different areas that you don't measure. There also is the possibility that a small amount of muscle was gained due to the surplus of calories and addition of walking, but this is less likely.

    It's most likely muscle and/or water. Muscle weighs more than fat [general assumption is that muscle is twice as heavy as fat when comparing equal sizes].
