Reached goal, then gained 10 pounds, is this normal?

I reached my goal, actually went 10 pounds under. It was not difficult to get to my weight of 130. Just stayed with mostly protein. Naturally I was thrilled to get to that weight! (I'm 5'7). I stayed at 130/132 for about 5 months. Then I started "testing the waters" so to speak (big mistake). It's just that during the 5 months at 130ish I'd always found it quite easy to lose an extra 2 or 3 pounds. Well, I put on 6 during my "testing" phase, then started on Zoloft (for anxiety)and shot up another 4 pounds! It's not that I think 140 pounds is so bad. I just loved being 10 pounds lighter. Now it is VERY difficult to loose. What's happening? Is this where my body is suppose to be? Could it be the Zoloft? Thanks so much for any ideas!
