Are you weighing and tracking all of your food?

Walking would likely not have anything to do with it. How long has this been going on - I get the sense you are only talking about changes across a couple of days, and over the course of a couple days? In which case, your weight fluctuates massively - like 2.5kg every single day due to various factors such as having food in your guts, digestive tract, water etc etc, so weighing yourself multiple times a day is fruitless. Instead, try to only weight yourself once a week at exactly the same time and under exactly the same circumstances. After getting up in the morning after a wee, for example. And know that weight loss is NOT linear, so there will be weeks that go up for no apparent reason, and weeks where you go down more than normal.
Additionally, you say you are not eating "high calories" but are you tracking how much you are eating? Are you weighing and measuring everything you eat, and sticking to your MFP calories?
And again, walking is great, and 10k steps will definitely increase your calorie burn a bit but it's not a magic formula for weight loss, so keep it up if you enjoy it, but ultimate weight loss will occur due to eating in a calorie deficit.
Also, it takes a looooong time to lose weight. A couple of days will tell you nothing. It'll be more like 4 weeks to tell if your plan is working or not.

You need a calorie deficit. Walking is nice but doesn’t burn if you’re overeating. Weight loss is mostly diet, then some exercise. Measure and track your food. Stay in your calorie goal. Then add exercise cals.

First of all, you've not gained 0.5kg in one day unless you've eaten 3500 calories over your maintenance calories yesterday. Did you? This is likely water and poop fluctuation, and it's normal and happens to everyone. Only weigh yourself in the morning, naked, after going to the bathroom. And don't sweat it if the weight is higher. And eat in a deficit like others have said.

If you want to weigh daily, as above, in the morning before breakfast. How many calories do you think 10000 steps is burning? You need to be in a deficit to lose weight. You can’t out walk any overeating your may be doing.

we know you are female but additional stats would help, and your goal so we don't assume anything, what is happening to you could be a positive if you are gaining scale weight in the form of muscle but decreasing your body fat % (try putting on a pair of tight jeans once a week and see if they start to fit for example or a dress etc, you get the idea) also the easiest calories to burn are the ones you don't put in your mouth in the first place

as an example in my first month of trying to loose weight I only swam to burn 400 calories per day but consumes less calories and lost weight much more easily than now where I burn up to 1,500 calories per day (walk, bike, swim, weights, stretch) yet eat more calories (and yes in both scenarios I was still in a calorie deficit) however my body fat % went down 4 points already

Fat gain and loss are slow processes. Rapid weight changes, such as the ones you are describing, are usually changes in water weight and food waste.

No one packs on the muscle overnight. Plus OP says they’re walking and mentions nothing about strength training. While walking is fantastic exercise, I know people who walk 5 miles every day for years and have not put on any discernible muscle from doing so.
