Well, you know the answer, OP. Get back in the gym and find the motivation, that you once had to workout.
If it's difficult, then find a training partner.

Dude you look great for not lifting in a while!!!!  How long has it been???

You have a great base to start up again!!!  And don't forget muscle memory will kick in and you'll be putting the size on again faster than you could imagine!

1-2 months

before that it was deteriorating for a while after some minor back injuries


i think i will lift once a week for a while on saturday for example

3 rounds of:
20-30leg press, 15-20 leg curl, 15-20 standing calf raise

3 rounds of:
12-15dumbel press, 12-15 supinated bent over barbel row


that's basically a full body workout in one hour or less

Although your arms look like they are 10"... you still look really lean which to me says... a good base to bulk with some juice and proper training/nutrition. Should look aesthetically good from gaining lean mass and being lean as you are. Don't fret.

Like others have said, you at least didn't become a balloon fatso.

if you can add a few long walks during the week this will be enough for maintenance i would think

only you know. 
but have you pre training data, have you gained muscle as distinct from "bulking up"?
have you lost strength and i dont mean just measured by barbell?

well i have a dvd of my first lifting competition at 17 weighing 150lbs (but this was at least 3 years training already lol)

sure added size since then about 35lbs

not bulking just like that it became automatically and staid the same since
