Well since December 2011 I have been gaining weight although I exercise 4 to 5 days a week and I eat clean. I thought it might be water weight or muscle recovery but I gained INCHES too which is making me freaking out. why that could be?

Have you considered sodium levels in your diet? I can gain large amounts quickly when I eat sodium ladden foods (which is chips, oriental, canned, etc).0

1) Are you eating your BMR? (check here http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ - you will need your body fat %, which you can get here http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/)
2) Have you had your thyroid checked?0 -
I don't eat chips and these stuff, I eat clean and my sodium always below 1000 and some day even below 600.0

2) Have you had your thyroid checked?
When my thyroid was removed (cancer), I was eating like a BAMF - all fruits, veggies, unprocessed foods, nuts, no added salts - and gaining weight like CRAZY. It's a real diet killer. The blood test is pretty routine and inexpensive, so worth looking into . Common symptoms include getting cold easily, thin hair, fatigue, constipation, weakness, sore muscles or joints, brittle fingernails, pale/dry skin. If that sounds familiar, definitely get it checked!0 -
I eat fruits, veggies, lean protein and I eat oatmeal and whole wheat bread, nuts, nut butters, dairy! I'm short. !'m 153.7 and 50 Kg and my UGW is at the 40s Kg0

How long have you been gaining for? You really shouldn't be gaining on only 1400 or 1500.
Double check you are working your TDEE out correctly, make sure you are weighing and measuring everything if you aren't already and also consider seeing about your thyroid if all the rest is ok.0 -

Have you had your thyroid checked? Your thyroid could be hypo active which means not functioning causing you to gaim weight thought you are exercising and eating right and sometimes it can be hyperactive causing you to lose massive amounts of weight for no reason.0

What kind of exercises do you do? What's your net calories intake?0

Sorry you're going through this. But yes, your weight is fine, but you should start lifting weights maybe.
Change your routine - weights play a huge part in fat loss (Which is what you want!)0
