How long does it typically take for water retention caused by increased exercise to shift?

F/27/5'4 SW:215 CW:171

Having been eating basically in maintenance mode for a couple of weeks due to some life stress, at the end of last week I decided to buckle back down to the next stage of my weight loss journey. Over the weekend I've religiously been at my goal of 1300 cals. I have also gotten back into exercising, doing 40-90mins of HIIT/bodyweight exercise a day.

Weighed in this morning and I've gained half a pound 😫. I know its just water weight and with being in a deficit I must be losing fat, but it's of course still discouraging, particularly as I'm so so close to hitting the 160s.

I wondered if anyone had any first hand advice on how long it took to see the water retention that starting to exercise causes drop back off? I'm holding out for a whoosh, but would be amazing to know if I'm expecting to wait days, or weeks, to see it. I know there's no hard and fast rule here, so experience people have had would be a good starting point!
