Hit plateau and sudden water retention- what does this mean?

Hi all

I’ve been stuck at the same weight for a few months now and have noticed I’m suddenly very sensitive to water retention. I’m 5’3 and 120 and only a few more lbs to go. I’ve gotten my body fat percentage down now to 16% so maybe that’s a sign that’s as low as I Should be aiming? Or is there something I could do nutritionally? Eat more of a certain macro maybe? Protein or carb ratio tends to impact water retention...any tips would be appreciated! I just swell up really badly after weight lifting sessions and even my runs now and not sure what’s causing that.
Thanks!

I am not a nutrition expert- but it seems you are doing well- maybe your body just needs a little more time or switch it up a little- I changed my grams of sugar according to mfp- and I started to lose a little- hope you figure out what's happening
