Most people's weight will fluctuate +/- 5 pounds on a daily basis due to what ever food/water you have in your digestive system.
Check your weight in the mornings, right after you get up. Take a piss, and then step on the scales. This weight will be more accurate because you haven't eaten yet, or slammed a water-tea-coffee.
If you eat something really salty you can retain water weight longer. Weigh yourself once a week in the morning before eating to get a semi-accurate account on how you are doing. That, or look in a mirror and forget the scale, nothing impressive about losing muscle weight.
To add on to this, check your weight once a week, on the same day, in the morning, after your morning constitutional, and before any food/fluid intake. Write it down and keep track from week to week. This is your nominal weight.
As KHK said, your weight will fluctuate within the day and from day to day. Constantly stepping on the scale and worrying about it will only cause you to fuck things up.
During my 30's I didn't keep up with anything I ate. Would just eat and not give it a seconds thought. I got big. One day while on break at work I was having trouble eating all of the candy bar that I ate every day at break. I figured out that I was eating, because it was a certain time, and not because I was hungry. That hit me as being a dumb way to live. I started right then changing the way I ate. I am now down to 190. I still want to lose 10 to 15 more pounds. I will lose it, and then I'll Keep it off!
No. I only eat when I'm hungry and stop eating before I feel full. I started deliberately taking my time and eating slowly. And I have cut out a lot of the junk that I had been eating. Really just paying attention to what I eat, when, and why.
something similar happened to me, I lost almost all belly fat in 2 weeks by only eating beef jerky, celery, and carrots. I drank only water and loads of coffee.
I also amped up my workouts slightly. Normally I just do bodyweight but I got a cheap squat rack and a nice bar & weights.
Nice. Being in control is a great feeling. So few have the discipline to deny themselves. I’m proud of myself today because I’m traveling with kids and just bought them lunch but resisted the temptation to buy myself anything. I’m doing one meal a day all week.

Check that rice and tamales. Probably a ton of sodium. That will make you hold onto water weight. You could get some potassium bicarbonate and just take like 1/8 a teaspoon of that every hour for a few hours and that water weight will be pissed right out.
You can go higher on the potassium if your kidneys are good like 1/4 a teaspoon but I wouldn't go much beyond that.
I have found a good cup of Bengal Spice tea as a nightcap instead of booze is the single easiest way to keep the pounds from creeping on. The amount of calories in beer is fucking horrifying.

I'd drop the fruits and add veg and egg.

It can take 8-12 hours to make the trip from your mouth to the final O-ring.

It has next to 0 calories and the caffeine will keep your metabolism up.
Just don't add anything to it.
