Hey there. A couple of thoughts - my first was that maybe you should *increase* your calories, since, for an active person, they're pretty low. But I don't think that's the right logic - I know, for me, it's easier to lose weight with calories around 1600 rather than down by 1200, but if you've always had them that low, your body's probably used to it.
My next thought was that it might be something medical. Which would suck. But might not hurt to get checked out, especially if nothing else in your routine has changed.
But then there's this - before you gained the weight, you said you were thin, right? Without knowing specifics it's hard to say, but this could just be a late spurt of your body developing and filling out, especially if it's in your hips & thighs.
But it's still a relatively fast weight gain, so it might not be a bad idea to see a doctor. Though I say again, even if this didn't cause the gain - if you work out so often, you need more than 1500 calories a day. (Unless that's a new thing since the weight gain. But for regular lifestyle, it doesn't sound like enough.)
Sorry I couldn't help more.
