I don't know what this means.

So, I've been really excited lately because I've been losing weight faster than I've been able to before, and I've went from ~243 to ~230 in a month or two. But, I measured yesterday and I've went from 53 inches to 55 inches (at my waist). I don't know what that means I'm doing wrong. Help????

I haven't really been logging my foods lately but I've been eating badly, but very near or way under my calorie count. Very little to no actual exercise although I've been shopping and walking around more than normal so I have that extra walking.

Edited to fix typos.

Possibly bloated? TOM on its way? That is the best reason I can think of. Just happenend to me.

Are you measuring in the exact same spot every time? Same time of day?

I would imagine the answer lies somewhere in 'eating badly'.
I find too many processed foods cause a lot of bloat, and even though you might be losing weight, you could also be accumulating fat from eating badly, especially if you are not working out much.

By eating badly I mean either eating all my calories at one time with tuna sashimi from a restaurant, or eating, like, 400 for the day... or eating, like, a bite of cake, then half a Pediasure, then a fourth a cup of rice, then some hamburger helper....etc. And my TOM was two weeks ago and it's very very regular. It could be that I only measure randomly whenever I have the chance timewise (around my belly button every time), but I've always done that and always got within 1/4 inch of 53.
