I’m no expert so don’t come at me but I had the same issue. For me I had to eat tons for it to come back but then it wasn’t even a proper period, it was kind of like spotting. Basically it takes time for your body to heal from the stress etc (in my experience) hope this helps a bit x

I think you should ask your GP if it’s been a very long time without you having your period. There may be something they can do for you, and even if not they’d give you better, far more personalised advice than anyone on a forum could. Either way, keep up the good work with taking care of yourself. You deserve to x

See another doctor, or contact a specialist if you have been under the care of one about your issues with eating.

Being on a healthy weight still doesn't mean you are healthy. You need to get all the needed nutrients in the right amounts to be healthy.

You have done really well to get back to a normal weight. Give your body a chance to readjust. Is there a practice nurse who you could talk to if the problem continues.
