Glycogen? Retention? Help

4 weeks ago I weighed 154. I do not overeat but diet is high in carbs. But I was wondering is that I have constantly been weighing 158 but have not gone over maintenance? Sodium is 1500 to 2000 every nowand than higher, carbs like 360g, but I do not know why I'm stuck at 158, clothes are the same, but scale is still saying I have gained? Is it just my glycogen being at a good level and when I was 154 my glycogen may have been down? I am just confused.

I think it's just glycogen being replenished, once you stop eating at deficit, especially if you eat carbs.

Could be, to be honest it could just mean the amount of food you eat and how much 'waste' you pass are just balanced at a different point now.0

Sounds like it. Honestly as you're not gaining weight, there's not much else it could be.0
