A bigger issue is not your body and a yo-yo diet, but how you remember "doing Atkins". Part 1:

Low carb is not a "diet" you hop on and off and expect results. So yes, you need to stay on it longer...like forever.
if you go back to eating the sweets and carbs that led to weight gain in the first place, you can expect the same results. I don't think it is eating too much cauliflower.
Although we don't count calories, calories do count.

Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution 1992, 1999, 2002 p.143 “Although there is no need to count calories, they do matter. Gaining weight results from taking in more calories than you expend through exercise, thermogenesis, and other metabolic functions. Research has shown that on a controlled carbohydrate program, more calories are burned than in a low fat/high carb diet so that there is a certain metabolic advantage to the controlled carb approach. But understand that this does not give you a license to gorge.”

If you have been drinking liquid fats to be "more keto" stop that for sure, and go back to Atkins induction where dairy is very limited...measure the cream in your coffee...maybe cut out cheese completely...no nuts, no alcohol. Tough but it works even the second time. When at goal you may be able to add a glass of wine or a bite of dessert, but most of us find abstaining is the best plan forward. For me it is no sugar, no grains, no processed seed oils.
All the best,
