Not eating for a prolonged period may signal the body to shift to the starvation mode, and it will stop using any calories consumed as usable energy. The extra calories will get stored as fat, leading to weight gain. But if you continue to eat junk, you will forever have a layer of belly fat on top of those muscles. Your first step is to stop eating processed food and start eating whole foods like the ones below.

Protein: Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, whey protein, etc.
Veggies: Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, kale, salad, etc.
Fruits: Banana, apple, orange, strawberry, raspberry, etc.
Healthy fats: Fish oil, nuts, flaxseed, olive oil, etc.
Carbs: Whole-grain pasta, brown rice, oats, etc.
