6 months postpartum and unable to lose weight in a calorie deficit, what gives?

I’ve done a handful of weight loss journeys throughout my life and have successfully lost 20-30 pounds more than once. I carefully track calories (yes I know how), eat enough to lose 1lb per week, and do some light exercise that does not factor into my calorie goal. I no longer breastfeed.

I’m completely baffled that the scale originally went down 5 lbs, but after another month, it went back up! I’m so confused by this. I’m tracking, weighing, measuring, sometimes even overestimating calories just to cover it. What gives? I’m back where I started and none of this makes sense. I’ve never had this problem before. Any other postpartum moms out there dealing with this, and any tips to help?
