Answer #2

It could be what we call “noob gains”. This just means that your body is adjusting itself to the new routine and lifestyle and so it’s giving an effect of size.

Also, if you’re eating more carbs or drinking tons of water, you’ll notice you’re getting a bloating feeling or retaining too much water. It’ll pass once it’s been a few weeks.

Answer #3

It’s prob Muscle?
