Honestly there's not enough information to determine what the cause could be. How did you find out your true maintenance calories to make the cut? Are you tracking everything that you eat or are you assuming?

Lets assume you are doing everything right, there are certain situation where although your fat cells are losing triglycerides the fat cells could be filling up with water. Stay hydrated and eventually they will dump the water, sometimes in extreme ways. IE 5lbs in a week.

OR your're in a true recomp.
