I just realized that I'm completely outrageous.

1) I'm NOT saying all the mass (meaning MATTER) is muscle!!! I'm saying that it is LEAN MASS, which includes ALL mass that is NOT fat. That means 30 lbs of muscle,

weight gained. Agreed.

You would lose water weight, especially with aerobic exercise. Water weight lost/gained is dynamic and (pardon the terminology) fluid. Weight gained or lost in this area is not consistent and should not really be considered in overall fitness program. What I'm saying is that one should not look at water weight with the impression that "Hey, I've lost all this water weight. I'm going to avoid water intake." Most people do not intake enough water. Indeed, it makes up 70%+ of our physiological make-up.

Possibly, but very nominal. I think the biggest organ expansion would be the erection YOU get flexing in the mirror.

As you are still adolescent, this may contribute in a nominal way although it is, again, be nominal at best and does not correlate to weight training so much as the proper nutrients/minerals ... i.e. calcium in particular.

Calorie surplus = fat? You're all set.
