It's just your body's normal reaction to an effective training stimulus while eating at or around maintenance calories, gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneaously (an improving body composition in other words).
Nothing special or unexpected, used to be simply called "getting in shape".
Have you any specific or personal questions OP?2 -
Eat more on training days, less on rest days, go by weekly totals as opposed to daily.4

you can do this, but don't have to. can eat more on non-workout days for recovery too.
Its all about progressive lifting, adequate protein and eating maintenance calories, or thereabouts.3
