More exercise = weight gain

I've upped my exercise to 5-6 times a week, burning 600-900 calories per workout. I eat 1500 calories plus most of my exercise calories back. But I've been gaining weight!!! It's been two weeks and I've jumped from 140-145. I highly doubt it's muscle because my face looks bloated too. Why am I gaining?! I'm eating at a weight loss level, and exercising, but the scale is going up and it's scaring me! I'm 5'8, a girl, and a growing teenager. I was so close to my goal, and the bloating/5lbs is extremely discouraging.
