Gained Weight/Lost Fat (Questions)

Hey everyone!
So, I have had an interesting first week and a half on my diet. I have GAINED two pounds, and (according to my scale) lost 1.5% body fat, which is great! I have come to a point where I know intellectually that fat loss is the goal. So I am not worried.
Does anyone have any good articles on fat loss that is coupled with weight gain?
Has this happened to anyone? Have you seen weight loss after your gain?
Either way, I am not giving up. I am just intrigued by what my body is doing.

The weight gain is due to your muscles soaking up nutrients they need to work. When I first started on my fat loss journey, my clothes felt a little snug even though I lost body fat. I felt like my legs got bigger which is not a good thing. Give it a week or two and it will start to go down.0
