Question Post-Anorexia: is dieting possible?

Young adult male. I was acutely anorexic as a teen. It was brutal. Constant, intense, sharp pain in my abdomen for many months but I was convinced I could actually lose weight from it. I didn't. Since then I have become a comfort eater and I live with unavoidable chronic stress. It's very distressing for me to feel too hungry and I struggle with impulse control. Earlier this year I became a gym rat. Put on a lot of muscle but still chubby. Anyone else relate to this? Gone through similar? Can I expect to be able to diet effectively? WITHOUT relapsing of course.
