Gained weight but losing inches?

Firstly, i'll apologise for the bad english, not a native speaker!
Last year i successfully lost weight from 75kg to 67kg in half a year.. (mainly from IBS and eating lesser).. i'm 5'7 btw.

I quickly gained back all the weight plus more over the months and reached my peak weight of 82kg!!!! It's the highest weight i ever had as i often range around 70 kg...
So i tried losing weight but dieting but not below 1200 calories and lost till 77kg in 3 months.

And i decided that i want to lose weight by exercising lightly but i didn't eat clean. After the first month i gained 2-3kg (i was 80kg again). I was feeling bad about it but people commented that i had lost weight so i didn't thought too much of it.

But yesterday night i stepped up the scale, i am 83kg right now!!!! How is it possible?
I've been exercising lightly and lessen my carbs intake. Everyone comments that i lost alot weight off my belly, my clothes fit better, my muffin top is almost gone and i lost inches all over. Basically everyone could see i lost weight.

P.s If it helps, my body shape is a inverted triangle, i gained all my weight on the top and i gain muscle fairly fast. I only do home workouts, not at the gym. My friend said it could be water weight as my double chin is still there.

Any advice guys? Thank you so much!

the number on the scale doesn't mean anything

if you like what you see in the mirror and all your clothes fit better - well done - you're clearly doing something right

How do you eat when you are off the diet?

I'd rather lose inches than pounds. Toss the scale!

I either lose lbs or inches never together so I will congratulate you on inch loss. Inch loss everyone can see lbs only you see so I don't see any problem
