    Reverse dieting isn't a hard concept but the bloating seems odd. Did you do a low carb diet? Have you been checked for insulin insensitivity? It may be nothing but you might want to discuss the bloating with your doctor and see if you have any underlying issues just to be on the safe side.

    Eating any new foods when you went to surplus calories? I hear the term reverse dieting and I'm thinking post contest diets where you slowly add back in calories....what do you mean by reverse dieting?

    So you are 165 lbs now. What EXACTLY are your goals? If you are doing any exercise at all during the week you should be at least 2000 cal per day just to maintain your weight of 165 lbs. If muscle gain is a goal I'd probably pop off with a 2200 cal diet at least with more carbs peri wokrout and just live my life bro...eat and grow!
