I gained weight after lipo: if I lose the weight I gained will my body return to the original post-Lipo result?

amygreen20182019
I had liposuction done on my flanks in May of 2018. I’m 20 y/o , 5’10” and was 137 lbs at the time of the procedure. It is now late February of 2019, and I’m around 145 pounds. Months after the procedure, I noticed that my body looked asymmetrical and odd lumps appeared around the treated areas. Is this a result of the weight gain?Could it still be swelling? My shape was much more desirable a couple months after the procedure. If I lose the weight, will I return to a more desirable shape again?
