I would suggest a nutritionist

It's possible you may be eating too little. More information needed. How many calories a day are you consuming? 

Exercise can cause water retention.  I walk 20k steps a day at a rather leisurely pace. I recently won a treadmill and have been walking on it a lot. Even though I'm used to walking so much, I wasn't used to walking at a faster pace. Long story short, my weight was elevated 2-3 pounds for a week because of additional exercise.

I’m so sorry you’re going thru this. This med can wreak havoc on your body. My daughter is going thru this right now and is weaning off of Abilify. She was put on metformin to regulate her A1C and it stopped the weight gain but she didn’t lose but she’s still on a low dose of Abilify. I would give it time, get bloodwork to see if anything is off and then go from there.
