You'd have to open your diary first and if you are eating at a deficit it's unlikely you gained muscle.

Often when you are bigger, your skin is stretched and pulled taught around the extra weight. When you lose the weight the skin relaxes and you start to notice stretch marks. Think of it as a balloon inflated and the air inside is fat. When you deflate the balloon (lose weight) the balloon looks more and more wrinkly and stretched out. This is why a lot of people who have lost a lot of weight have extra "flab" or loose skin when they are done losing.
