Maybe all the excercise is building muscle. Muscle weights more than fat. I wish I could give you a better answer.

You are doing nothing wrong, you're doing a great job. A 2 lb gain is nothing---it could be salt, water retention, or a heavy meal.

Try not to get too discouraged, I've lost steadily for months now, but the scale has gone up and down a tiny bit each week, and from week to week. One week I had gained a pound after working out like a madwoman, and then two weeks later I lost 5 in one week! Our bodies aren't like the pages of a book, there's no fluid, linear process to weight loss.

Also, check this out--it's a great example why we shouldn't put too much emphasis on the scale:
