It could be muscle if you are incorporating exercising/weight training into your lifestyle. If you have (or if it is), I wouldn't worry about it too much because muscle (in the long run) is going to help you burn more calories. Another explanation for the weight gain (if you're sticking within your calorie range) could be water weight. Last week I started to keep an eye on my sodium consumption (which has lead me to start looking at my sugar intake), and it's made a big difference to just limit the amount of sodium I have. Right now my muscles are sore from working out (so I'm still probably retaining a little water), but I'm still showing tiny bits of weight loss. I haven't taken a look at your diet, but if you're constantly hungry all I can say is green leaf lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, and broccoli's have been my lifesavers. I try to eat a good salad at least once a day and am trying to munch more veggies for snacks. Anyways, you're farther along in your diet (and goals!) than I am! Just keep it up and keep your eye on a short-term goal! I read a really cool blog the other day that super-inspired me, I'll try to find the link and forward it to you. Good luck with the weekend!
