What does your workout schedule look like? If you are weight training it could just be that you are gaining muscle.

Muscle is denser than fat, so it takes up less space. You can lose a pound of fat, gain a pound of muscle (although gaining a large amount of muscle takes a good deal of time) and be smaller, even though you weigh the same amount.
