whats happening to me

so i started out at 155 in october unhappy with my body. i began to start working out and eating right. That turned into me working out all the time and playing volleyball 3 times a week and limiting my food intake. i got down to 125 ish around march. this mostly was because i wasnt eating that much (800 cal a day) and working out a lot. i had little muscle and had low blood sugar. i started incorporating heavier weight lifting in my workouts along with eating more protein carbs and fat. i started gaining muscle and tone and of course inevitable fat. i started gaining weight on the scale but i thought it was because of my new muscle. i started doing more cardio (45 min to an hour) and i saw some results so i continued to do this. then for two weeks i ate horribly and binged and i woke up one day noticing all this fat on my body i hadnt seen for months.. i was so upset. i started limitng my food again and working out more and i started to lose all tone in my body. almost all my muscle has no tone and does not show like it used to. i also have newly added fat . so i feel very flabby with no muscle definition. what happened to me? what do i do now about this? i currently weigh about 136 and id like to lose about 10 lbs of fat. how should i do this? what should i do about eating and what types of exercising should i do? more weights less cardio more protein? less weights more cardio less food? i feel like all my muscle has disintegrate and fat replaced it. although all my strength is still there. is my muscle gone or is it not showing?

    See a therapist? Sounds like you have body issues that random strangers on the internet cannot help you fix.

    what happened to me? you gained weight

    what do i do now about this? eat at a calorie deficit

    i currently weigh about 136 and id like to lose about 10 lbs of fat. how should i do this? eat at a calorie deficit

    what should i do about eating and what types of exercising should i do? eat whatever food you want to as long as it meets your calorie goal. I suggest lifting heavy weights, but you will still lose weight on a calorie deficit

    more weights less cardio more protein? calorie deficit first, then focus on strength training and macros

    less weights more cardio less food? refer to question above

    i feel like all my muscle has disintegrate and fat replaced it muscle cannot turn into fat, and fat cannot turn into muscle

    is my muscle gone or is it not showing? you gained weight causing more fat to cover your muscles. once you lose that fat, your muscles will look more defined. your muscle is still there.

    ETA: get professional help. You do not need to post multiple threads about it.
