NOT wanted weight gain

Hi,
I started working out in the gym and eating healthy in February 2015, I lost 7 kg and was really happy until now....
The thing is,I'm really active; I work out 6 times per week (4 times in the gym and 2 times cardio (running)). Besides that I work in a hotel and my job is physical. I eat healthy and I like it, my calorie intake is around 1850 per day. (45 % carbs, 30 % protein and 25 % fat)
Here is the problem: I have gained 3 kg in 2 months without changing anything, to be honest I have worked out more than before and I have tracked my calorie intake better. I worked hard to reach my goal and now my weight keeps increasing.
With this post I am trying to find suggestions or the reason why it's happening.
Thank you in advance!

Could you potentially be gaining muscle?1

I am not sure how old you are, but I found if my hormones are out of balance I cannot control my weight. I didn't even start losing after several frustrating months until I got tested and started supplementing - in my case progesterone. I had several other bothersome symptoms which also resolved.1

I agree with this 100%, same story for me!0 -
Can you open your diary? What's your height/weight? It's easier to find the culprit when we have a bigger picture

Thyroid issues? Inflammation on the inside? Both issues could be a hindrance. I'd get a good, overall physical with some bloodwork. Also, unless your workout is longer than 30 minutes, I know I'd gain weight on that many calories, but I'm only 5.4" and 53 yrs old...I am lightly active. I work out 6 days/wk varying my workouts from cardio to strength training (light...arthritic!), and now that it's warmer, I will most likely add walking to my workouts every day. I have to keep my caloric intake to under 1300, or I gain! Like I stated earlier, check w/your doctor to get some concrete facts and take it from there! Good luck!1
