I wasn't really trying to drop my body fat, it just happened.

When to cut is a personal decision and may be based upon vacations, summer-time, contests, pics, etc. So it really depends on long term/short term goals. Before you do decide to cut, go through a maintenance phase. If not, you will drop weight extremely too fast and lose most of your gains.

Why does that happen, what does the maintenance phase part do for your body to prevent extreme weight loss?

Your body strives to be in homeostasis. If you put on 20 pounds in 6-8 weeks, then immediately cut, your body will do its ****est to return to your initial starting weight. You want your body to adapt to your new weight and solidify, this new weight is what your body thinks is homeostasis, if held constant for a period of time.

Ah right I see, so how long would you say is good to maintain for ? 4 weeks or so, and then onto cutting phase ?
