Was the weight gain lean muscle or fat?

Was the weight gain lean muscle or fat?

most likely fat, because i wasn't lifting weight when i gained 30 pounds

That’s the reason right there, fat slows down footwork, time
to calorie cut or up the cardio

Even when not training, you have to keep your calorie intake in check. A gain of 30 pounds is a lot for that time span.
