Is my scale broken?

I tried sertaline for a few weeks at the end of last year. Wasn't for me so I stopped but gained more than half a stone (possibly also the holidays and letting normal habits go a bit!) I've been weighing myself more often and I've slowly been shifting the weight, suddenly today I'm another 3 kgs heavier! How can that be? Just Monday I was 3 kg lighter.

I weigh myself in the morning without clothes before I've eaten (and after I've had a poo!), seems like a lot for water weight? Also incredibly demotivating, is this just how it is in perimenopause? I'm 44 approaching 45.

And also any suggestions for shifting weight at this age welcome. Objectively I know I'm not overweight (165 cm, somewhere between 59-62 kg currently according to my fickle scale) but feel best around 55 kg and cannot seem to shift this weight at all.
