Those sorts of numbers can only be approximate, so being off by 100 calories here or there is hardly going to make a lot of difference. However, the general rule is that if you eat 3500 calories more than what your body expends, you will store one lb of that excess energy as fat. So if it were possible to consistently eat 100 calories a day more than what you expend, it will take 35 days to gain a pound. But given that our activities every day are hardly exactly the same, there is no way to know exactly what your output is so as to know if you have expended more or less, etc. The 100 calories more or less that you are talking about are too much within the margin for error to be able to say anything definitive in response to your question.
