36F. Strength training 4 months now, 3x a week, hour sessions. Been feeling great and getting strong. Since training I can tell my body composition is improving in some ways but I’m also gaining weight, like most bothersome is my pants don’t fit anymore. I can tell my waist, legs, and arms are toning/strengthening but at the same time I’m just getting bigger.

I used to do frequent intermittent fasting but stopped once I started training per my trainers guidelines. I definitely eat more now that I’ve been working hard in the gym.

Should I start cutting now and what should that look like? Thanks for any tips or advice for me as a newbie.
