Lots of things can affect fluid.

Where you are in your cycle.
Hot days
Sunburn
Flights
Travel in general where you sit a lot
Salt consumption
Exercise

But that has nothing to do with weight gain and loss. It can appear like it has something to do with it, but it just clouds the issue.

The way you can tell if it is real weight gain or loss is to wait 3 days.

Exercise a lot ... gain a bit of weight ... wait 3 days ... spend the day making tracks to the toilet ... weigh yourself the next day, and that's your weight.

Substitute exercise in the sentence above with any of the other options ...

Fly to Canada ... gain a bit of weight ... wait 3 days ... etc.
