What's the most water weight you've held onto?

Background info on me for some context: I'm a NASM CPT, and have been lifting for 9 years or so. Far from a rookie, but haven't ever been in this low % of body fat before, wasn't as dedicated/serious before. Just asking for some personal experiences here.

Been dieting for a few months now, usually my water weight would vary 1-3lbs or so. My weight would fluctuate like this:

167, 166, 167, 165, 165, 164, 166, etc

I eat the same food daily, which helped the weight loss be even closer to it's actuality.

Then, I started drinking diet sodas. They have a decent amount of salt in them, plus the liquid weight itself. This threw the scales off a bit.

But lately, things seem way off. The day after a 10 mile ruck (heavy backpacking) I weighed around 167 (from 163). I had a 32oz diet soda, and a Gatorade on my trip and at home. I assumed there was a lot of inflammation as well because I was extremely sore, especially in my traps.

The day after my recovery day, a full day after the ruck, I weighed in at 156. I have been mostly 163ish since, but scaled in at 155 one other time since then. (a week or so) I've been teetering around 165-160.
