Can't seem to raise my weekly calorie budget

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. 39F, I've lost 13 lbs (5.9 kg) over 3 months by using Loseit, which is awesome. I want to lose 7 lbs more, but I'd like to raise my calorie budget from 1 lb. lost per week to 0.5 lbs. Easing myself into maintenance, I guess.

The problem is, every time I change my budget in Loseit, I start gaining weight. I switched to the 0.5 budget and gained a pound in one week. Freaked out, switched back to the 1 lb. budget, lost the pound. Decided to try again, switched back to 0.5 budget and gained 0.8 lbs in a few days.

Up until now my weight loss has been consistent and predictable, so this is really weird. I'm staying within my budget and carefully weighing all my food, just as I was before. Why am I gaining weight in what should be a small deficit? Shouldn't I be at least maintaining my current weight?

Any ideas as to what could be going on?
