With the activity your doing maybe its muscle... I can gain up to 4lbs from morning to night... no kidding... and when my period comes I gain about 3-4lbs but it drops off.. I wouldn't worry... doesn't sound like your doing wrong ..so your body must need the fluid for a spell... dont worry when its ready it will release it... your doing great and staying active.. Weigh to go!!!

Make sure you are only weighing yourself at most once per week. I know that I fluctuate by 3-4 pounds without doing anything differently with my eating or exercising. It just happens. I notice that I am much thirstier with the warmer weather - make sure you are getting in plenty of water to prevent retention. If you are dehydrated from the weather and much activity, your body will try to hold onto water.

You may be putting on muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. So, if you are, you can be gaining some weight, but be healthier. Does your doctor have a scale that measures body fat percentage?
