2kg (4.5lbs) is easily within the range of water weight variability. I'm sure you gained a little bit of fat, too, but I wouldn't be surprised if the ad-lib protein (and carbs?) and your mum's place just increased your water retention a bit and this would drop off within 3-5 days if you were to return to ex150ish.

As a reminder, I've had 4.4lbs swings in "lean mass" in 24h. Not even measuring fat mass. You probably have around 150lbs of lean mass on you, so if you water retention just increases a few percent, that'll look like 4-5lbs on the scale.
