Eat slowly and you will feel less hungry.

If after you eat, you gain 5 pounds, this isn't really gaining weight. The food you put in your body is heavy (especially water) and that is what makes the scale go up. That is why when you sleep it goes away.
If you are 5'6", your goal weight would be about 135... but you are definitley fine as you are! Don't stress - drink lots of water and exercise and you will be healthy.

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
