Gained a stone

After lockdown etc I gained a stone, I was 8.5 stone but now I’m 9.5 stone, I’m only 5”5. I hope to lose half a stone in a month as I don’t want to starve myself plus it’s probably not good to burn weight too fast. But would I be considered fat now? I’ve not really gained weight up top like my arms look slightly bigger and my face hasn’t got very fat but my legs, bum and hips have got chunky. I just don’t feel happy being bigger, Before the weight gain I was skinny but didn’t realise it at the time.

Thanks
