Creatine can cause weight gain when you first start taking it due to water retention so give yourself time to adjust 👍 

Thanks for the advice. Yes, weight increased by 1kg in the last two weeks. Trying to stick to the new macros however is difficult. I don't have a problem when leaning up but it seems counterintuitive to do the same when in a calorie surplus. What has happened in the past is a lean bulk ends up eventually leading tow putting on excess fat. 

Yes, difficult to get the balance right. But you have a good plan and doing it slowly will help prevent fat gain. 💪👍
