Water weight from WALKING?

I'm 21F. I took up another lifestyle change so I could continue losing weight. I lost 3lbs and then joined the gym (cardio only). I do anywhere from 20-60 minutes walking at 4mph 0.5 incline and every other day I jog 1-1.5 miles. This is upping my exercise from only being walks with my dog (~3-3.5mph) some days. My glutes were sore for a couple days, but that has gone away.

I have gained back the 3lbs. At first I blamed it on Monday where I ate out about 2k-2.5k calories, so I lowered my calorie intake to 1k or less, regardless of my exercise. This was simply to make up for Monday. Yesterday was the first day I ate 1200k, not including exercise. My TDEE is 1800kcal/day.

I don't feel like I've changed my exercise routine enough to cause water weight retention. I feel so frustrated seeing the scale go back up and erase my weight loss, especially after a school week of pretty low intake. Is it possible for water weight to retain from starting mild exercise like this?

I'm going to lower my sodium intake this weekend and see if that helps. If anyone has experienced this or has any knowledge, please let me know!
