Yes. Upticks and plateaus happen. And [any] booze is the quickest way for me to gain weight. A boozy reunion weekend with The Boyz is a instant 5 lbs easy. But it appears to be mostly water weight and comes off in a week or so with recovery.

Also, if you're eating more protein and/or working out, that can also keep your weight higher, but your body composition will improve.

Its weird, but it seems that for real weight loss/fat reduction, eating higher fat, low protein, and low/zero carbs (including alcohol) is best. But if you're looking to build muscle, upping the protein works wonders.

In my journey starting as a skinny-fat guy, I dropped 20 lbs relatively quickly, but then gained it back as muscle in subsequent years. So I weigh slightly more now (8 years later) than when I started, but the body shape is totally different.
