Weight has gone up from 64kg to 68kg while still in a deficit.

Male 64kg/166cm

Hi guys, Ive been in a 500 calorie deficit (eating 1500) since the beginning of may and successfully lost 9kg. I have been doing exercise as well but for the past few weeks my weight has gone up from 64kg to 68 while still eating in deficit.

Ive made sure to track my calories correctly with food scales and measuring.

Should I do a reverse diet and increase my calories to 200 above maintenance? (2200cal) and if so how long should I do it for?

Thanks!

EDIT: forgot to mention that I just started doing gym this week if that helps but for the 3 weeks before, my weight was still staying the same around 65kg.
