Are you sure you Tolkien much?
Because the hobbit was so successful the publisher asked for a sequel, and as Tolkien progressed with Rhe Lord of the Rings he made revisions in The Hobbit to accommodate it. The entire Riddles In the Dark chapter, iirc was retroactively added to The Hobbit

Except, Tolkien started writing the mythology of Eä in 1914 that would essentially be the Silmarillion. He started notes and outline for The Hobbit in 1917. When the publisher asked for a sequel, he gave the publisher The Silmarillion and it was turned down. He started revising parts of The Silmarillion and ended up just writing The Lord of the Rings.
