1 week, no smoking, running everyday= weight gain?

I quit smoking one week ago and haven’t smoked since! My cravings were bad so I picked up running and I have been running everyday. My diet has been decently well, but after this week of running (uphill as well) and mild weight lifting (arms, squats, ab crunches) I noticed a weight gain of 1-2 kg (2.2-4.4 lbs)! I thought maybe I’m losing fat and gaining lean muscle (which is what I want) but I feel like it’s almost impossible in one week to gain 1-2 kg of muscle! Maybe it is water weight? Any advice? Anyone been in this situation before?

Hey there, this is an older post so you may not be checking but yeah, most likely water weight and yeah maybe even a little muscle gain
it'll even out for you quickly no worries. Congratulations on quitting! 0
