Muscle weighs more than fat but to make a difference on the scale you need to be building muscle which you do by weight training not aerobic/cardio exercise....
Ask yourself a question. What weighs more a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?
They both weigh the same 1lb. For the third time muscle DOES NOT weigh more than fat it is denser.
It can't be muscle as it does take more than several weeks to gain one pound of muscle and with you stating you have been exercising on and off, it's unlikely.
The key is water and start weighing yourself with a tape measure instead of scales.
It's more accurate to where you are progressing.
