My math says I should be down 11.5 pounds but I'm only down 5. Can anyone help me? This is extremely disheartening.

So I've been back on the weight loss train for about a month now and I've been keeping track of my calories extremely diligently in my fitness pal. I've set myself at a 1000 calorie/day deficit and I usually come under that by anywhere from 600-300 calories. I did the math and at 1300 calorie per day deficit I should've lost over 11 pounds by now but I'm only down 5. I even gained 2 pounds in the last two days despite being at a -1700 calorie deficit yesterday and -1400 the previous day. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and it's hard to keep motivation. The only thing I can think of is that I'm walking every day (about 1-2 miles depending on how I'm feeling I've been doing that for about 3 weeks now) and before that I was far more sedentary. Could muscles in my legs be growing and be offsetting my fat loss? Could I actually have some kind of glandular issue that would necessitate me eating even less? I don't know if I'm grasping at straws here but I'm desperate for an answer because.
