I was confirmed at 16; when I was 17 I became a born again Christian and started attending church at a Fundamentalist Baptist Church. Eventually I moderated my fundamentalism to Evangelicalism. I started attending mass again 15 years later.

Was I excommunicated?
 
No, you were not excommunicated. Excommunication is a specific penalty for specific canonical offenses that need to be freely chosen with full knowledge. That is not your situation. You were a confused teenager/young adult. You simply stopped practicing your Catholic faith and went searching among other Christian groups. You’ve now returned to Catholicism, all you need to do is make a good confession and you can resume full life in the Catholic Church.
