Am I going to gain weight?

I've been recently stressing immensely over my weight. I have an extremely busy schedule that allows me to work out 5 times a week as I'd like to only if I am lucky. Otherwise, I try my best to get in at least 4 days a week. However, since I am 2kg away from my goal weight, I've been less strict around my diet. By no means do I eat unhealthfully, however. I avoid sweets, eat my veggies, eat protein and keep my carb intake at about 30-40 net carbs or lower (higher carb days would not surpass 50 carbs). I am still scared of weight gain though. I eat around 1200-1500 calories a day, just depending on how much I feel like eating that day. I am currently 164.5cm tall and weight around 62kg. Now I know I'm not eating too many calories, but is weight gain still possible?

    Congrats on getting so far in terms of your goal! What you are doing now seems to be all the right things. You are still eating at a deficit, so I would be very surprise if you started gaining weight. If you strength train during your workouts you can gain weight in muscle which is not a bad thing! I'm not expert by any means (so others please correct me if I am flawed in my logic!)

    Good luck!
