Am I going crazy? Up and down weight keeps me feeling stuck

Hi everyone,

Stats:

I started getting back in shape 1/3/22, and I have tracked every day. I have lost 7.4lbs.

I rock climb 1-2x a week, and weight lift 3 times a week.

My daily calorie intake is around ~1,600 calories.

I weight and track everything including oils. I cook 95% of my own meals and snacks.

I love this subreddit so much. The first time I got in shape this place was a life saver and now that I'm doing it again I appreciate the community so much. I feel like I've been stuck gaining and losing the same 5 lbs for the last month. For example, 2/20/22 I weighed 216.1 and on 2/25/22 I weighted 214.2. I stepped on the scale yesterday and I was back up to 220.2. I do have a little fun on Friday nights and I tend to under budget it for about 200-300 calories. Most weeks my friends host dinner and hang out. It's the one day a week I allow myself to drink and have some sweets like oreos or a brownie.

I really do feel like I'm stuck around 216 lbs and have been since January. I am getting back into weight lifting and I am 25 year old woman so I know those are factors but I thought I'd be closer to 200 lbs by now.

Am I going crazy? Am I doing something wrong? Do I just need to give it more time? Should I completely give up on cheat days/meals until I hit my first goal of being under 200 lbs? I've been down to 170 lbs before and I do not remember it being this unstable before.

I just take such a mental hit seeing the crazy jumps from Friday night to Sunday morning.
