Does the temperature affect reading on scales

Hi. I was wondering if anyone can tell me whether the temperature of room and floor temp can affect the reading on digital body weighing scales. I've been working out six days a week, in a controlled calorie deficit and hitting at least 10,000 steps on average most days but my scales are consistent at 152llbs. Not even a 0.1llb decrease. The temp reading on scales when I use them says 14° celcius so can that cause them to give inaccurate reading. Thanks in advance for your replies

How many days has the scale shown the same weight?

I think it's a lot more likely that all that exercise is causing water retention, masking fat loss on the scale.

Also: a lot of scales have 'fake consistency' built in, so that if there is a small change in weight, they don't show it.

Another possibility is that the batteries need to be replaced.
