Can you put on weight through using weights?

Technically speaking lifting weights can make you "put on weight", but not in the sense that it makes you fatter, it can just make you heavier, but that is simply because muscles weigh more than fat, so lifting weights can make you gain muscles, but at the same time you are losing fat, but on the scale you might weigh more than before even though you are losing body fat and are therefore leaner. So, it can make you put on weight, but in reality it actually means you are leaner than before even though you weigh more.
