Having great progress but still gaining weight?

Hi,

Has this happened to anyone? I've gotten faster in running and running farther and have even been tracking my food, but somehow my belly still keeps on expanding and I keep on gaining weight. I don't know if I'm eating the wrong foods (high protein, low carbs, try to avoid dairy as much as I can) or if it's possible muscle growth. I have a long journey ahead. I'm 204 now, started at 210 and have been going at this for three weeks. I was at 200 last week, and now back up to 204, that's why I'm confused and frustrated.

Physically, looking into the mirror, I don't think I lost those 6-10 pounds at all, if anything it feels like I've gained more.

Not sure what motivated me to post, but I just really don't want to give up this time and I really move forward, so I wanted to post into the community.

Thanks
