Massive water retention? Stalled after losing 8kg

So I’ve lost 50kg before due to health reasons with just dieting. Because of stress eating, and psychiatric medication, I’ve gained 30 kg back (after 6 years of maintaining).

I started my diet accidentally per se, as one of my meds suppresses my appetite completely (not weight loss meds) and I’m averaging 800-900 kcals a day (before anyone says it’s too little - I’m aware, but I cannot stomach more). I’m eating healthy, weighing EVERYTHING, I don’t exercise because I don’t have the time - but I’m eating as much as I did when I lost the weight and I’ve only lost 3,2kg since April 2nd and I’ve felt bloated as hell, like my period is about to come (which is possible - I have not been tracking), but this stall over 5 days doesn’t make any sense - it’s like I’m retaining all of the water I drink. It’s impossible that I haven’t lost any weight in 5 days, I have not consumed anymore sodium than usual, just more liquid.

I plan on starting the gym and increasing calorie intake, but not yet due to my job. But this doesn’t make any sense. I lost 8kg in 1 month and it just stops? Any advice? Am I eating too little? Not moving enough? I sit down a lot for my job but I also get up and walk around too.
