    What are you using to judge this? When you lose weight you also lose water and muscle.

    If you are using a scale that also measures body fat, they can be pretty glitchy!

    My guess is a digital scale that aims to measure body composition. That would explain the situation pretty well.

    What device are you using to measure the 2% gain in body fat?

    If you're using a body fat scale (hand-held or stand on it), then ignore it. Those are terribly inaccurate. Go by body measurements and the scale for now. If you're making progress on the scale and you're getting smaller, that's a big win :)
