is it just bloating or am i getting fat?

I am currently trying to gain weight from anorexia with the help of professionals who have restricted my exercise and written out a meal plan for me. The meal plan is geared towards gaining muscle weight but I have some concerns. I used to run for a little over an hour a day, and now I'm not allowed to run for a month, so I walk 40 minutes a day at a 10% incline on the treadmill. Then in the evenings I do 300 crunches and some light weights for my arms. The big thing for me is that I want to keep a flat, defined stomach. But it seems like when I wake up in the morning, it's squishier than usual and sort of flabby feeling. Then sometimes as the day goes on and I poop (for lack of a better word) and pass gas, it flattens out. Is this just bloating from what I've eaten the day before, or am I putting on fat weight? People keep telling me that my body will replenish muscle before it replenishes fat because it's so torn down from the anorexia but I don't know...
