I think it's little bit tricky to know the difference between water retention and fat, unless you are lean, take a body fat test, and check your carbs, sometimes they do as body type.

Indeed. IF it's water retention drink more water (yes that works). But a lot of what people call water retention is fat.

drink more water. also the body goes through fluctuations with water retention.

also maybe you are eating something that is giving you bloat. you could have some sort of food intolerance

How much water are you drinking each day? Also, your body needs sodium so be careful not to go too low.

Your problem is actually from reducing your salt intake.

Sodium is an essential electrolyte. You don't want to consume excessive amounts of it but you DO need to consume some.

Increase your sodium intake and your water retention issues will go away. Lightly sprinkle sea salt on all your meals.

Not losing weight over the last several weeks. Despite the large calorie deficit and strenuous exercise routine. And this is because, like the subjects of the Minnesota Experiment, they were losing fat but it was obscured by increased water retention. Not paying attention to sodium and potassium intake.
