Losing inches but weight going up

Domineer

So I lost 27 lbs in the past two months. Over the past two weeks, my weight has hit 268 lbs but floats +/- 6 lbs. I'm losing inches weekly but it seems as if once I hit 268 the scale never goes lower. I hit this same result last year and ended up giving up and gaining 25 lbs (the girl cooks very well too). I'm not sure why I am retaining so much water. Is it just the time of year? Any suggestions??
