Is gaining 3-4kg on creatine normal ? (Like from 75 to 78-79)

So, I've been having a steady 2kg/month weight loss lately along with my resistance training. I decided to take creatine 2 weeks ago and did the loading phase for 1 week. After loading phase my weight went from 75 to 77.6. But now 1 week in taking 5g everyday it's between 78-79. There seems to be no weight loss though my diet's nearly same as before. But my biceps did get better. Pushups seems to have got easier. I went from biceps curling 5kg each to 7.5kg and now able to do 10kg(though less reps for 10kg). Also my waist decreased about 0.5-1 inch from 36-36.5 to somewhere between 35 and 35.5, which should mean fat content has decreased I believe? But I'm confused as to whether gaining weight like this is a good thing and whether I should restrict my diet further as I'm still really out of shape, especially loose belly and need to reduce fat content/weight. Also hould I stop creatine if I'm not losing weight anymore?
