Default How Much Weight Should I Gain When Starting Exercise?

I have been LCing for almost nine months now and am guilty of not exercising. I have been happy with my weight loss to date, but I know if I started working out (cardio & light weights) regularly, the last 4.5 lbs. will go quickly. I have not made any dietary changes. My TOM is coming in 2 weeks, so it’s not that. So, I started working out Sunday and my weight has been steadily increasing each day, to the tune of 3 lbs. But I know not to FREAK out because I am gaining muscle mass. But therein lies my question. I read somewhere on here that muscle volume weighs twice the amount of fat volume. So how much should I expect to gain? I don't have anything to judge it against since I've not really exercised while losing the first 21 lbs. I am sore all over, I am discovering muscles that I never had.

I just figured I am so close to goal that now is the time to focus on continuing to eat healthy and to make sure I get some exercise.
