My loss line flattened while my gut got louder

I keep a 12-column log: morning weight, symptom score 0–5, protein grams, water, waist, sleep, and a few others nobody asks about. From week 18 to 22, my symptom average went from 1.1 to 3.6. My weight trendline moved 0.4 lb total. I assumed feeling queasier meant I was eating so little that losses would accelerate. Instead I spent those days on crackers and weak tea, and my protein slid from about 125g to 80g. My waist is down 0.25 in over the same stretch, so maybe some of the scale noise is water or food volume. Or maybe my body is just not reading my spreadsheet. Mildly annoying. Anyone else see the trendline go quiet while nausea got louder? What did you track to separate actual fat loss from temporary junk?
