This answer depends on your diet. If you continue to consume the same amount of calories after you quit lifting, then yes you may get fat. Lifting weights burns calories and muscles need these calories to build more muscle. If you quit lifting weights, your body no longer needs as many calories. Also, your metabolism will slow after you quit lifting weights. Now, if you quit lifting weights and also cut calories, you will not get fat.

Raising 1kg through 1m in the Earth's gravitational field increases its energy by 9.8 joules or 2.34 calories. So, if your body was 100% efficient, which it isn't, this is how many calories you would burn. Estimates of the human body's efficiency are between 18% and 25%, so depending on your particular metabolism, you would burn approximately 4-5 times as much as this, say 10 calories as a good guess. You should also be aware that "calories" normally quoted in dietary information are, in fact, kilocalories so this would be 0.01 dietary calories.

Weight lifting will promote muscle growth, while not using up that many calories. It can certainly make you put on weight.
It's very difficult to determine how many calories are burned during any weight lifting activity because there are so many variables. It depends on how much you weigh, if you're using extra weight, how long it takes you to do 50 repetitions, and how long you rest between each rep. Also, weight lifting exercises like squats are not normally used to burn calories, because aerobic exercise is the best if you're concerned about how many calories you're burning.
A hell of a lot, it's not how much you use in the lif it's the knock on effect.
Natural gas has around 34,000 kilojoules (around 8,120 calories) per cubic meter.
The amount of calories burned lifting 5 pound weights varies depending on different factors. Gender, current weight, age, and the amount of time you spend lifting the weights are factors that need to be considered before determining the amount of calories it burns.
You aren't losing calories. Instead, you are burning them off. If you are burning that many calories through exercise, though, it is healthier to up your calories intake by 100 or 200 calories, though.
The only way that you gain calories would be through consuming them through food or drink.
