You gained weight because you got "improved feed efficiency" (you made more muscle and less fat from the calories you consumed, and it takes fewer calories to build a pound of muscle than a pound of fat) and because the gear stimulated your appetite; in short, you ate more.
Taking more gear MIGHT make you want to eat more. A little more.
Not taking more gear but simply eating more will almost certainly accomplish the same thing - you'll get diminishing returns from cranking up your dose mid-cycle, and an increasing risk of side effects. And no matter what, you're still going to have to eat more.
So eat more. Just eat more now. How much more? Well, tell me how many calories you're averaging daily - how many grams of protein, carb and fat - and we'll give you suggestions on how to crank that up easily.
Meanwhile, why the hell are you eating low fat? You're not gaining! You think more protein will add mass? You're crazy! Protein's too satiating - you're already having trouble getting it all in. Crank up the fats! They're easy, they're low volume, they're cheap and they work. Oh, and they're not hepatoxic and won't give you gyno. Butter your veggies, bread and rice. Toss olive oil into your shakes. Eat whole eggs, full-fat yogurt, toss whipping cream into your shakes and omelettes. It's really easy to get in the extra calories. You're just trying to do it in the most uncomfortable way possible.
