As a summary:
Unexpected weight gain, if you feel that your diet has been pretty good, may be due to the following three factors

• Drop in muscle mass because of not doing strength work with heavier enough weights or not at all.  Muscles need a lot of energy to survive and therefore a reduction in muscles mass reduces your metabolic rate.
• Reduction in incidental activity due to working from home and reduced activities: when you move less, you burn less.
• Slight increase in alcohol consumption, snacks, more elaborate home cooked meals, etc

So you have a situation where you are burning less calories, so even if you did not change your food intake at all, you would still be in excess and gain body fat.

The strategies are:
Get started back with your resistance training workouts (and gradually) push heavier
Be mindful and increase your incidental activity- start moving more! Even if you still have a work from home arrangement, it is time to say enough it enough and find ways to be active throughout your day.
Tidy up on bad habits that have crept in and stick to set meals, reduce alcohol and no snacking in between meals or after dinner.

Above all, there are many factors that contributed to weight gain if you have experienced it and don't be too hard on yourself!  We are definitely all in this together and you are definitely not alone!  Snez xx

Even in this worst case scenario, such as this difficult time of dealing with the Coronavirus,  it doesn't mean the loss of your healthy habits.
In fact I encourage you to strengthen your determination and discipline, so that you are better equipped to deal with the emotional stress of this situation as well to decrease your risk of illness.
Here is a quick video I also made on what I have been doing to stay fit and focused at this time of change.
Stay active and well at this time.  We are all in this together,

Here is the first thing you need to know about calling yourself a 'comfort eater'. The label itself gives you permission to overeat and eat things you know are not good for you.  All of your good judgement about healthy food goes out of the window and the worst bit...
It doesn't make you feel good once you have had it! In fact it makes you feel worse and even more of a failure and annoyed with yourself.
