I have been exercising and eating healthily. I am desperately trying to lose weight before my sister’s wedding in July. I have been doing this for several months now, but my weight really fluctuates during the month. This morning, despite eating so little the week before, the weighing scale shows I have gained almost 1kg! Does this have anything to do with my menstrual cycle?

Yes, it does. For a woman who is still menstruating, your weight can fluctuate quite drastically during certain days of the month.
