Weight loss/Fitness question

So four weeks ago, I started running again. I also started strength training for the first time in a while. Two weeks ago, I had lost 4lbs. Then I injured my leg because I did too much running at once (dumb). I’ve only done very light cardio for the past two weeks as a result. I kept on strength training 3x /week. And doing as much light cardio as I can that doesn’t bore me to tears.

And I’ve been eating, more or less, in a calorie deficit. DEFINITELY not enough to gain weight.

I (think) I look thinner, and I see some muscle on my arms, but I gained the 4lbs back. This morning I weighed the same as I did at the beginning....which is honestly a bit disheartening. 

Is it because of the strength training? Am I doing something wrong? How do I “fix” it?

Been really bad at posting here. Life has become super busy with full time studying and work.

First workout in months. Training outside and without a rack. Felt great but oh dear, I am so unfit.

Getting back into a regular training routine feels great. We are not required to wear a mask in gym in the Netherlands.

Gyms opened today. Although we have been able to book private sessions once a week, this was open proper. Other than everyone wiping down everything all the time, it was pretty much just like a regular day at the gym. Except there were balloons everywhere and everyone looked super happy. Let’s hope it stays this way.

I need a new programme now, will start that Monday.
