Eating more will not help you lose weight. To lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit. Eat less and move more. You probably weren't tracking your calories accurately from the start. And drink more water. 15k steps per day, drink > 100 oz of water, keep your calories to 1200. You will lose weight.

You added fewer than a 1000 calories in 3 days. You did not gain 3 pounds.

Went from 1100 (to 1200) to 1300, 1450, and 1400 and just like that- pow- up to weight I thought I had lost.
Before this, was on plateau for a very long time. 1200 calories everyday for 3 months. Thought this would shake it up.
Nope.
Back to drawing board.
Go you! I don't get 12k steps at all- 10k most days. And you only gained a small amount of weight with calorie increase.
I mean, I admit, I have no idea how to do this! Hoping for 15 more lbs to come off. Eventually.

Weight loss is not linear

A pound is 3200 calories so unless you consumed an excess of 9600 calories over 3 days, it isn’t true weight gain.

That ship has long sailed.
Then maybe you ate saltier than usual?
I am hoping that's it. But nothing of note.
