Weight loss / weight gain

As you can read in my previous posts, I have been concerned with weight loss some time now.

As a result I started eating A LOT of junk food, which did make me gain weight again but only around my stomach area.

So I'm gaining weight, but my pants are still falling off. Is it possible that I lost weight there because of stress and gained it back in my stomach area?

Or is something else going on?

I gain weight predominantly in my stomach. I’m a size 18 ish in my stomach but a size like 12 in my legs. It’s just the way of the world. Stress also causes visceral fat, which is predominantly stored in the stomach
