The main reason your body would gain when you 'cut' is you're putting it in an unsafe deficit too quick. It goes into starvation mode and hangs onto every calorie you give it.
Post up your diet for diet help...steroids are not the answer for you.
you need to go straight to the diet section and get the proper help... this is definitely not anything you need to be reading about or concerned with... you need to focus on your training and diet and get that all in check...
What you're doing is confusing the body so that it thinks its in a calorie defecit mode so it holds back and when you start eating it stores the calories thinking you're going to restrict them again, this is called the yo yo diet, subjects wind up being bigger than before that started the diet.
you need to learn this is no quick fix, it's a lifestyle.
please read
^^^ yup we were discussing this in the lifting section ... same reason why jumping into the keto diet overnight won't work long term cause when you come out of it then you are gonna gain fat so fast.
Proper diet and training are the key to everything in terms of achieving your goals. You definitely can't rely on something else to do the work for you
If you were eating six not so good meals a day then changed to six good meals a day, you could still have to much of a calorie deficit. The bad food tends to have more calories in it. So figure out your maintenance calories and figure out how many calories you have in your six good meals, and you should want to be around a 500 calorie deficit.
