No, you most certainly did not grow 7kg of raw muscle in 12 weeks. What method to measure body fat did you use?

There's a reason that I qualified the statement.

They used a factory-calibrated scales, which uses impedance to measure your body fat percentage.

I don't trust the measurements: if you're using impedance to measure it then hydration and the salt balance in your body will dominate any small scale changes in body mass (7kg is < 9% of my body mass).

The initial measurements look anomalous, the muscle % and fat % were well out of bounds with my girth/height when compared to the US military-sourced base lines.
