As others have said, if your clothes fit better etc then dont worry about it. If they dont then cut back on the eating.
Sadly this. Isn’t 5 pounds of muscle a lot for a barre class?
Look I wouldn’t go to an exercise class if it made me feel fat. Your jeans don’t fit. I’d switch to something else. My guess is that you’ve cut back on cardio which is why the weight gain.
