    MUSCLE IS DENSER THAN FAT! If you Are working out like that then I would suggest paying more attention to how your clothes are fitting than the scale. At my top fitness level, I weighed the same as I weigh now (141), but only wore a size 4. Now I wear a size 8 or 9. Same weight; you're ok, keep up with the weights and building that muscle-you will lose fat much quicker than with just cardio.

    A surplus of 14,000 calories over your TDEE = a 4 pound gain.

    I very much doubt you did that.
    It's most likely water retention in your body - either due to strenuous activity or too much sodium, or both.
