Starting weight lifting and gaining some weight

Hey there! So for a long time I was hesitant to get into weight lifting because I doubted my knowledge and ability to do it. 3 weeks down and I'm happy to say that I joined a cheap gym and love thinking about how much I can press or squat. It's a really good feeling!

Anyways all I wanted to ask is that I've gained about 6lbs or so since I started and I'm not really upset about it. I understand there will be some water retention, but what are the best ways to go about this?

Do I track all my calories? I'm definitely worried I'm undereating when I go to work out. I'm also doing 20 minutes of cardio every 4 days mixed in with weights for fat loss. Also I'm thirsty literally all the time and I feel the amount of water i used to drink just doing a 45 minute spinning class is way below what my body is craving.

Anyways just looking some advice on where to go with this. Part of me hates weighing myself, So I'm wondering if measurements might be the way to go. I know I'm getting leaner because my typical weight loss areas are getting smaller.

Thanks for any advice!
