I have a few possible ideas why this may be occurring:
1. Instead of weighing your self, have you had your body fat tested? You may be losing fat, and gaining muscle?
2. Have you kept a food diary/journal, as you mentioned you are "watching what you eat". Another possibility is that you may be eating in a "healthy" manner, but if you are still consuming more calories then you are expending, you can still gain weight. So, a lot of variables are in place, including the amount of calories you are eating versus the type of exercise you are doing. For example, slow walking burns as little as 100 calories/hour and intense, high-impact aerobics or dancing can burn 500+ calories/hour!
3. Lastly, it might take time for your body to adjust to your new workout routine and new foods.

Does any of this help?
