I believe that ExFatLoss's summary of the fire-in-a-bottle summary of the effects of PUFAs would suggest that since you're probably 8% PUFAs by bodyweight yourself, all your minor weight loss did was tap into them enough to mess with your thermostat a little. That plus the fact that losing weight without fixing the thermostat always results in gaining the weight back. I don't weigh myself more than a couple of times a year, but your graph looks like how my weight feels most times. It'll trend up for a while, and then trend down. Often this tracks with the seasons, as it well-studied. I went from 250 to 230 over the summer, had a bad few days without access to enough food, seem to have freaked my thermostat out a little, and now feel like I'm trending upwards slightly.
