Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you're replacing one with the other, that's why.

I was around 105 pounds last year, went up to 110. I'm only 5'2". I would say that I eat about no more than 1500 calories a day. I also noticed this weight gain after taking iron supplements for low blood iron.
So what do those 1500 calories a day consist of, then? Also, are you taking any vitamin supplements? What about your protein intake?

How much are you eating and what are you eating?

Since I wake up around noon, I don't tend to eat lunch and have more of a late breakfast (most of the time it's two pieces of fruit (apple, pear, banana), bread that tends to be no more than 200cals, skim milk, and sometimes a yogurt. I have sweets everyday, but never try to make it more than 300cals (if I have one donut in a day, I won't eat anything else sweet) . I don't eat lunch due to waking up late, but do snack on cereal or pretzel sticks (but 1 serving size in total). Dinner varies, but it tends to be either 1/2 cup (when uncooked) of Japanese white rice with one piece sirloin beef or breaded baked chicken, or plain pasta , all with 2 fruit servings and carrots with peas sometimes. I don't eat after 8pm.
Uhh, you are eating a ton of carbs, with a lot of it as simple sugars rather than complex carbs. Just going by what you said:
For breakfast- Apple = 100 cals, 25g carbs, 19g sugar; Pear = 100 cals, 27g carbs, 19g sugar; Bananna = 100 cals, 27g carbs, 14g sugar; 2 slices of bread = 150-160cals, 24-30g carbs; 8oz Skim milk = 100 cals, 12g carbs, 12g sugar; so before the sometimes yogurt you are averaging 450 calories, around 82+g carbs with 46+g as simple sugar; adding in a yogurt if it's greek yogurt thats 100 calories and 6g carbs as simple sugar, if it's like Yoplait light that's 100 cals and 17g carbs with 14g as simple sugar. So worst case you described is 550 cals for breakfast with around 100g carbs that are 60% simple sugar.
You then say you "have sweets everyday". A donut generally averages 200 cals with 22g carbs, 11g as simple sugar. You also have a serving of pretzels or cereal wich are again: 100 cals, 23g carbs; or a serving of cereal, usually 1 cup, which depending on kind can be an even worse calorie, carb, and sugar bomb than the donut! Let's give you best case scenario donut + pretzels putting your snacks at 300 calories and 45g of carbs.
For dinner- ½ cup of short-grain white rice is 270 cals and 60g of carbs; 1 cup cooked pasta is 230 cals and 40g of carbs; 1 chicken breast is 275 cals and the first thing you eat all day without carbs but of course you bread it so scratch that and add 5-10g carbs , or a 4oz piece of sirloin is also around 275 cals; two servings of fruit could be anything like 100 to 300 calories with probably at least another 40g carbs; lastly is it 'sometimes carrots & peas', or always carrot and sometimes peas? 1 cup Carrots = 40 cals, 9g carbs, 5g sugar and 1 cup peas = 120 cals, 21g carbs, 8g sugar. So the dinner you listed is anywhere from (Rice or Pasta + Meat + '2 fruit') 750-1000 cals with at least another 100g carbs to say 850 to 1100 cals and 120g carbs with the carrots and peas.
This would put your daily totals at 1500 to 1750 cals and 225g carbs; or adding in your 'sometimes yogurt, carrots and peas' 1700 to 2050 cals with 250 to 260g carbs.
Even best case scenario at 1500 calories per day and 225g carbs that means 60% or 900 calories per day of your diet are just carbohydrates. You should ideally get this down to 35% carbohydrates. Why do you eat so much fruit? Try finding something better than white rice and pasta. Substitute the bread for 2 eggs in your breakfast. You seem to be lacking healthy fats in your diet. Not really a lot of protein either. Why the fuck don't you eat any leafy greens? Eat a damn salad, and don't use store bought dressing. The artificial chemicals they put in it to keep it from separating on the shelf are one of the worst things you can eat for weight-loss.
I hope this helps you somewhat. I understand that it can be very difficult when you are 5'2" as a much smaller amount of excess calories in your diet will lead to weight-gain compared to someone ½ to a foot taller. Exercise doesn't burn as many calories as you think, and it's certainly not burning through your current carbs consumption per day. Definitely keep doing an hour of cardio walking or biking. You sound like you are doing good, but just haven't really considered your diet beyond raw calorie count and apparently you don't like vegetables or something lol Keep a little tighter track of your calories and substitute some healthy fats and protein in for all that simple sugar and carbohydrates.
Edit: Maybe this will help you too- Leafy greens, black beans, mushrooms, nuts, and olives are all high in iron https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/iron-rich-plant-foods

Work out your BMR and TDEE, then then cut you calories.
Your exercise is irrelevant. You will never out cycle or out walk too much food.
Edit: your diet is the reason for this.stop snacking.stop picking, stop grazing, especially on highly refined carbs. Hell, ditch the white rice.
But some cheap digital kitchen scales and be brutally honest with yourself about how much and what you eat. Log every thing you ingest in MFP.
My bet is, you think ab hour of cardio a day will melt the lbbbs off, right? You come across as having no clue about diet.
Truth is you could ditch the cardio and lose weight just by changing your diet.
Seriously. Ditch the snackies and the treaty weaties and the sweeties though. We reward dogs with food. Is that how you see yourself?
Further edit: fs op.track your calories. You have no clue what you eat, and I can guarantee its more than you think, and I would also bet you underestimate how much you eat.
You won't lose anything unless you learn to do this.

The reason I'm so afraid is due to the fact I was once 140 pounds and I'm afraid of gaining it back.
These are some photos of how I look now. I should also add this weight gain started about a year ago, and I haven't changed anything about my diet.
I also don't like eggs due to the texture, are there anything else that can work.

I do get exercise, I'll cut down the snacking, but I was just asking if it was possible to be putting on weight after losing it with nothing changing. I was once 105 pounds , then it changed after I took some iron pills and that's when I noticed the increase. I haven't done any changes to what made my lose weight before, so I wanted to know how it could have happened. I also do count calories, almost to an unhealthy amount.
