Water retention is likely to blame.
Up to 60 percent of an adult’s body is water, and water accumulates when the body retains excess and unnecessary fluids.

Many things can cause water retention, including mild and serious health conditions. However, most people experience water retention from time to time. Some reasons are:
Dehydration
Obesity
Dietary changes or nutritional deficiencies
Blood pressure
Liver or kidney dysfunction
Hormonal changes such as pregnancy and menstruation
