Because, as you said in the title, weight fluctuates. It's perfectly normal. Causes include salty foods (such as restaurant food), menstrual cycle, water retention from a new exercise regime, more waste in your system that you haven't got rid of yet, and sometimes it just happens for no apparent reason. That weight will be gone in a day or two.

Weight fluctuates, it can bounce up or down a few lbs or more each day.... @DemoraFairy has already explained why.

Workouts can cause inflammation as your muscles repair themselves. If your weight went up and your muscles are sore give it a few days. I end up losing more weight this is way because I am extra careful about not cheating if I see my weight up on the scale.
