Is losing weight you gained recently easier than weight you gained a while ago

Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked already. I've tried to look for an answer but I feel like I'm wording the question weirdly.

I've been losing weight for about a year and have made good progress. I took a break during the exam season where I gained about 8kg which is roughly 17lbs (eating motivated me as a reward and calmed me down) and once I finished the exams, I began losing weight again.

Losing that 8kg happened really quick and felt so easy, the scale was barely fluctuating unless I ate salty foods like pizza or hit a really intense workout. Almost everyday the weight on the scale would go down.

Recently I was able to reach my previous lowest weight and I'm currently a kilo below that. One thing I've noticed and have been reminded of is that weight loss isn't as linear as it was when I lost the 8kg I gained during my exams. And that had me thinking, is losing weight you recently gained easier than the weight you had previously. I understand muscle builds back faster when you've taken a break from the gym but also understand muscle and fat cells are not the same thing.

If it is easier to lose weight that you recently gained could you explain why?
