Struggling with weight loss & confused by number on the scale

I’m (23f) so confused right now. I’ve recently ( 2 weeks) committed to my weight loss journey & have been intaking approx 1300 calories. I have a new digital bathroom scales & it seems to be accurate. However I weighed myself yesterday & it showed I’d put on 2.2lbs in 2 days. I admit I had a cheat day on one of those days intaking 1700-1800 calories. 1700 is approx the amount I’d need to intake to maintain weight so why is this happening ?. My baseline is about 1000/1200 calories that I need to function according to weight loss calculators. I’ve been super precise using kitchen scales to measure everything & having the occasional boxed weight loss meal all within my calories limit.

I admit I’ve not been exercising as I work retail & often my body is already exhausted from being on my feet all day. I was hoping to rely on diet only till I dropped at least 30lbs from my current 224lbs. Then I’d start with exercise as I didn’t want to put the extra strain on my already obese body. Can anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong.
