Weight gain - confused?

Hi guys,

Been on my weight loss journey for around 2 weeks now. First week I lost a solid 2.5kg, majority water weight as I understand. This week has been a little different though.

I started the gym this Monday, just some typical weight lifting and sometimes doing a little bit of HIIT cardio. My caloric deficit is still at the same it was last week, my TDEE-1000 which works out at around 1500 (I feel 1500 may be a bit low though as it was worked out for a sedentary lifestyle and I've become more active in general recently, although I am still going off the 1500). Note that I am accurately counting these calories on MFP. However, this week I've put on an entire 1kg (around 2lbs). I have a lot of fat to lose so surely I should be losing some weight and I doubt that I put on 1kg of pure muscle in a week.

Feeling a little demotivated right now, anybody got any ideas?
