Statistically speaking if caloric deficit is the only thing you did then you're going to gain all that back. Sorry.

However, if you cleaned up your diet too then that might've been the causal factor and not the tracking which is to nerds what prayer is to the pious.

Statistically speaking, you have 1.5 legs and there is no diet that works. (they have about 20% success rate)

Other statistics tell us that calorie deficit is the required and sufficient condition for weight loss.

Frequentist statistics do not apply directly to individual cases.
