Tricky: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the weight that comes back is what was supposed to be there. Getting a BMI measurement would be a start on the discussion. Second, the behavioral traits involved in cocaine also occur in overeating. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0692496157/ a book based on this.

Cocaine abstnence: I commend you for letting go off your Cocaine Dependence and being abstinent for 4 months. Since that time, stresses of living, relationships, education, work and finances have likely affected your appetite and at times excessive eating to deal with feelings; and not doing exercise have led to depression. Trust your metabolism. Continue NA and AA Meetings See Psychiatrist for Therapy.
