The latter could be a cognitive distortion. Unlike many, I have a tendency to think myself thinner/lighter than I really am. That can be slightly dangerous. Or, maybe I have gained some muscle mass. I feel stronger and more muscular. I have always had the basis (for lack of better word) of good muscle mass all the way from my ballet days. Ballet muscle is lean and long looking, not bulky.
The way you have been exerting yourself, I vote for muscle all the way.
