A: You are actually in the best position to judge that yourself. Have you gained a noticeable amount of fat in these 4-5 months? Hopefully not because gaining 4 kgs in 4-5 months is just about the perfect pace. If you gained little or no fat, then I'd probably continue for a bit longer -- the more muscle you gain the more of a 'running start' it gives in the final assault on getting the six-pack. If however you have gained a good amount of fat already, then it might be a good idea to start cutting.

Another way to approach it is if you have a goal of having the six-pack for the summer, say by June. You should probably plan to cut back all the weight you gained and maybe a little more and allow 1 month to lose 2 kilos. So in case your goal is six-pack by June, then you can afford to spend another 1-2 months and gain 1-2 kilos, so you'll have gained 6kgs by beginning of March and then spend March-May cutting those 6 kilos back.
