Does water weight affect fat loss?

I’ve been dieting for around 5 months now, have lost around 40 lbs so far. In the recent months i’ve noticed a significant decline in my weight loss journey (used to be losing around 2.5 lbs a week, now i’m only losing about 1 or less.) I know for fact i’ve been following the same deficit I’ve been going off of since I’ve started, tracking my calories and all. I’m not sure if it’s perhaps me not sweating as much as we’ve entered winter or if it’s me eating too much salt/carb loaded foods which I usually don’t indulge until my cheat meals at the end of each week. Oddly enough ill wake up with a clean stomach seemingly looking slim and all in the mirror not feeling bloated though for some reason the scale will display a surprising higher number than expected(it’s low key been stressing me out as I have a goal I want to reach in time for an event in January.) Water weight apparently has a big influence on the scale fluctuations i’m seeing, so hypothetically by flushing it out via exercise, fasting, etc would see my actual true weight hiding behind all of it? And can I still be losing fat with water retention?

Any advice or input is greatly appreciated, no rude comments please.
