Is it normal to gain weight when starting strength training?

Hi guys I’m a 22 year old female, now that gyms are finally open again here in Canada I’ve been going 3-5 days a week now since the beginning of September. My goal is weight loss. I typically spend my time there weight training as I really can’t stand cardio. I started at 212 pounds, got down to 207 now I’m back to 210. I’m wondering if this is from gaining muscle? It makes sense because I’ve been getting stronger and am able to lift more. But it is still discouraging. Diet has always been a struggle for me, no matter what or how much I eat I still feel hungry. But I have been tracking my calories in vs calories out and with the exception of a few slip ups I appear to be in a calorie deficit. Is the scale going up from muscle mass? Will it ever go back down? or maybe I’m not eating as good as I think I am. I just don’t want to look like this anymore.
