    Most likely water retention. Weight fluctuates quite a bit even during the course of a day. – JohnP Sep 28 '15 at 21:20

    6 lbs is too little for clothes to be affected. But yeah, it's possibly a combination of water weight and fat. – Kneel-Before-ZOD Sep 28 '15 at 21:45

    Even if it's not water weight, there are a lot of places weight can go on the body. I've gained 5 pounds and had no change in waist, biceps, thighs, calves, chest, neck, or hips. Bigger traps don't make your clothes too tight. – Noumenon Sep 29 '15 at 11:28
  • Can we assume that you didn't wear different clothing/shoes on the times you were weighed and it was on the same scale? 6 pounds is within a fair range of error. – Sean Duggan Sep 29 '15 at 19:21

There are two possibilities:

  1. You were just low on water content.
  2. You have put on muscle mass.

Possibility 1 is the most probable cause. Your body loses water and your weight fluctuates in a matter of hours. So, if you are dehydrated, then probably you lost a few pounds.

Possibility 2: You could have put on 2.7kg (6lbs) of muscle mass in a week, but only if you had worked out hardcore and took a lot of nutrition.

I weighed 85kg before and now I weigh 106kg and my clothes still fit. Don't take your clothes as a parameter to measure your gain/loss.
