I've been low carbing for about two years. I lost three stones in the first year but now I've put back on about 3/4 of a stone. What's going on?!!!??!? I need to nip it in the bud.
 
Carb creep?

That's when you make teensy incremental increases in carb intake that gradually require more insulin, and therefore lead to fat deposits.

That is just a guess.

I would very carefully review exactly what you are eating, your activity and stresss levels, and compare them with your weight loss period. The odds are things have shifted without you really noticing.

I regularly have to do this, because i have a natural tendency to gourmandism (aka greed ;) )
 
What @Brunneria said and check your thyroid. I put on 4 stone in a couple of years due to wacky thyroid but was too tired to do much about it and trying to do anything was useless anyway as low thyroid often effectually stops weight loss.
