Does stopping exercise make you fatter than before?

As in, if exercise effects your metabolism, does stopping exercise mean you pile the weight back on more quickly than you were gaining before you took up exercise?

Because it feels like that.... Sad

I guess it would depend on your food intake?
All other things being equal I would expect a person to revert to the body composition that they had before exercising
