Agreed Rosie
Getting huge offseason just makes it that much harder to diet down. Many times people will diet too quickly due to being that fat and will lose more muscle than they might have if they were leaner to start.
It's also easier to see your progress and weak points when you're semi lean :)
10 lbs in a couple months will most likely not be all lean mass unless you're just beginning. Also, I agree that 5000 cals a day will probably make you gain a lot of fat. I would just keep adding nutritious calories until steady slow weight/strength gain occurs.
