What causes you to need to increase weight and calorie intake for weight training?

You don't!: You do if you are lean and underweight. But if you have pounds to lose but want muscle, eat more protein and lose the starches and sugars!

I have gained weight for no reason about 12 lbs. Over the 18 months. Could this mean something is going wrong healthwise? All blood work is normal. Calorie intake still is and has always been around 1200-1500.
