After losing the fat...does it come back in the same places?

I wasn't sure quite where to put this, but I figure it's somewhat on topic here.

For quite a while, I decided that I wanted to lose weight. Now that I have reached my target goal, I realize that I'd rather have it back. So here's my question (please don't flame if it's stupid.)

When I start gaining back my fat, will it come back in the same places? In the past, I have had people tell me that when they lost a substantial amount of fat, they never looked the same when it gained back. I have lost about 8 pounds, I believe, which is a lot for me. So, I was wondering... are they right? Is my fat going to settle differently?

There are several factors in where your body deposits fat, genetics being the main one. Things can change a bit with age and stress levels but since you just lost it recently chances are it will go back to the same spots.
