This tbqh

I'm at 178 lbs, 6'1" and I need to go down to less than 2000 cals a day to lose weight, 1800ish is the golden number for me in addition to cardio.

Also, if you're lifting, you may (though it's kind of unlikely) be losing fat and gaining muscle? Cut more calories and do more cardio.

Also you wont see massive changes in a week, especially if you're only cutting 500 cals.

The body naturally fluctuates by up to two pounds on any given day. As long as you were on a caloric deficit, it's likely just one of these fluctuations. I personally only weigh myself once a week to keep myself from being discouraged.
That being said, if you're just starting out, it's likely you're loosing fat and gaining muscle (i.e. noob gains), which may cause you to gain weight, even if you're loosing fat.
One simple way to tell if you're burning fat is to drink massive amounts of water and check your piss color. The process of burning fat for energy releases shit into your blood that makes your piss stronger than usual. If you're really burning fat, your urine should be dark yellow even if you're drinking like a fish. If it's not, you may want to consider cutting another 500 cal/day and double-checking your nutrition facts and ingredients.

Yep I did notice mi piss was clear in the past 3-4 days.

I'mma start cutting to 1800 cals and do more cardio

If you want to lose weight then you need to swim. That's why i cut in the summer , i go for 4-5 km swims and get shredded fast

Don't worry about it, OP. Anything could account for the weight gain (might have had to take a shit, for example).

I recommend weighing yourself at least every other day, and creating an excel chart or something so you can see a moving average of your current weight. If the average is decreasing, you're on track. If not, you got your maintenance calories wrong and you need to correct that.
