Can you gain inches from weight training? and starvation mode help!!

Okay so I've posted this before, but hopefully this can help you give me an answer :)

So I gained like 7 lbs since 3 months ago, and i have absolutely no idea why.  So I realized I haven't been eating enough (1200cals) since I'm 15, 5'3, and I run 5km every day, but not on days that I have soccer (usually 3 times a week, sometimes 4) but soccer really does work out to pretty much 5 km worth of excercise since practices are 2 hours. How can I get myself out of this mess without gaining too much/if any weight?!

 Anyways, my situation is pretty hard to explain, so I'll try my best haha. So I am really fit, and my stomache MUSCLES are ROCK hard (since I do situps/pilates) and i have a flat stomache and everything,  ****BUT**** I have like almost 3/4 inch of fat ontop of my abs at the fattest part of my stomache.  So i'm really confused as to why? I look like i have abs/a flat stomache but I have a lot of fat.  So im guessing i'm skinny-fat?? but that doesn't make sense either because i'm doing so much sports! :S

One last thing (sorry for making it so long) I know weight training is good for raising metabolism, but is it possible to gain a lot of muscle, but not lose fat, and you end up looking FATTER than you were before?

You are seriously not eating enough; 2000 calories would be the minimum for a teenage girl as active as you.

Women are designed to have more fat on them than men: don't be surprised if at a minimum healthy weight you still have a bit of fat on your waist.

The extra fat you're talking about is normal.  Everyone needs a little layer of fat on them, and women especially.  One big problem I see here is that you are losing muscle.  When you don't give your body enough calories, it always goes to the muscle tissue first for its food.  You need a lot more calories since you are a teenager and you work out a lot.  Teenagers need at least 1500-1800 a day and that is with no exercise.  So you must be burning at least 500 on top of that.  I would say to shoot for at least 2000 calories, and you can probably still lose weight.

However, since you've been eating so little, you might see a gain at first.  Don't let this stop you from increasing your calories though, because you're young and your body will catch up soon.  I was eating too little last year, and what I did was add about 100 calories every two days or so, and I didn't gain any weight.  You can probably add more though, because I wasn't exercising.   Good luck and eat more asap!!!

If you are male, eating significantly more calories than you're burning in a day (including a *lot* of protein) AND genetically predisposed to doing so (or making up for that by taking supplements), yes. 

Unless you meet ALL of those criteria, no.
