Losing more weight at rest

Age 36 Weight 230 Height 5'8

Hello

I've been on a fat loss journey for probably 2-3 years now, going from 320 to 230. Im on some medication for blood sugar control (metformin) but other than that nothing else I take would have an effect on my weight.

Im writing to ask about a weird phenomenon I noticed over these 3 years. For the most part, my exercise is alot of walking, like 70-80k steps per week. The weird thing I noticed though I that when I slow down to like 50k steps, after a prolonged period of walking a lot, the scale goes lower. I spent probably 5 months walking extensively and eating, more or less, healthy and the number on the scale remained the same even though I lost a few pants sizes. For the last 3 months I've lost about 10 pounds despite not getting as much exercise and maintaining a regular diet, and this isn't the first time it happened.

Im asking for the physiological explanation for this, if it's healthy and if it's just me. Chatgpt it's related to water retention but it seems to be permanent weight loss.
