Maybe you started out with a higher body fat percentage and you lost fat while gaining muscle so your still around the same weight, but more muscle. Also you might not be taking enough calories or protein to help you put on mass. You have to take in a certain amount of calories per day to gain weight. You could try eating more (healthy foods) like tuna, skinless chicken breast, protein shakes, sweet potatoes and whole grain pasta for carbs, egg whites, cottage cheese and nuts.
