It’s up to you. Have you met your gym performance goals? Your weight goals on the scale? Are you satisfied with your weight gain? Because yes, gaining weight does lead to a slight increase in water and fat. Your muscles will be less defined, and your abs less visible.
The ideal approach for significant results is to start with 24 weeks of muscle gain, followed by 12 to 20 weeks of fat loss, depending on your starting point and your final goal.
