Dealing with weight gain and exercise during recovery?

I’ve gained like alot over the last month during recovery and I’m genuinely freaking out. Like I knew I gained weight but I didn’t expect to have gained this much?
My mom told me its cause I suddenly stopped exercise after I told her I wanted to because I felt like my relationship with exercise was not the healthiest. Basically it was compulsive and I had to exercise a certain number of times a week for a set period of time if not I would freak out and restrict. She disagreed and told me I only thought my relationship with exercise was unhealthy because I was reading things online and said she was like that as well and her relationship with exercise was not unhealthy.
Anyways she told me if I was truly unhappy with the weight I could just exercise and I would be okay. So I did. And now I want to continue everyday I can… and that if I feel bad about eating I should just exercise.
I don’t know, am I overreacting over what my mom said? I know she’s trying to help but I feel like it may not be at the same time but I dont want to say anything. But she’s very happy i decided to run again so…

Advice in recovery

My meal plan says 3 cups of milk a day, isn’t that way too much? Honestly most days i dont drink any cos it feels like i dont need it.
Recently my sister has been making me matcha, like cream top and all and that scares me though i drink it. But then I skip my afternoon snack cos honestly i think its way too much. Like having both feels like too much esp cos i mostly have an apple with lots of biscoff spread.
Ive been struggling since ive gained weight, not sure how much but i defo have. It makes me feel like I’ve failed and I don’t wanna eat anymore. Like three meals a day plus snacks and a matcha constantly worries me! Any advice or tips?
Also when do hunger signals come back? I still don’t feel hungry. I always wanna skip a snack when my sister makes me matcha but my mom always reminds me my period hasnt come yet (its been 4 and a half months). I feel like maybe its just stress. I swear ive already gained enough weight that it isn’t the weight affecting my period.
