So I Don't Know If This Is Normal Or Not, But My Gecko Will Look Like He Is Finally Starting To Pack On Some Weight One Day And Then The Very Next Day He Looks Thin Again! Like Then YOYO Dieters...
Has Anyone Else Seen This In The Geckos?
I Put 10 Crickets In A Night And He Eat Most Of Them..Sometimes All...Depends On The Night I Guess...I Have A Red Light For Night Now..And He UTH Is Also On A Night Time,
Any Ideas?

Is he going to the bathroom regularly? Is it normal looking? You could try raising the temps a bit. to about 90 and 75 and see if that help a little. The UTH should be on at all times.

Is your leopard a juvie or an adult?
I dont think i have ever seen a leo that actually looks fat one day and thin the next...unless it was maybe a very thin gecko who only looks fat when full of insects???
Do you have a camera? If you can snap a pic then folks can tell you if generally your leo looks healthy or not
Your set up sounds pretty good, although as Leolady said you should have the UTH on all the time.
What are you using to measure the temps? Are you measuring the temps on the side of the tank or on the substrate floor?
Generally, how is your leo behaving? Where does she spend most of her time - in the warm hide? The cool hide?
