The only explanation I have is that you lost muscle mass while you lost weight, so while you may weigh less, you appear to have gained weight. If you actually put on weight, then I dunno haha.

Your muscle mass shrank & it was replaced by pure 100% lard which weighs less.

This happened to me too. I think in my case its an inaccurate weigh scale, my BF% used to be 22.1% then it went down to 18.2% Then I went to 23%! I have no idea...

Measuring BF% is not an exact science. Track your progress with a combination of the scale, tape measure, and mirror.
If you gained weight while cutting, you need to reevaluate your diet - you simply at too much for the activity you were doing. Drop 200 calories and stick to it.
