It could be muscle mass. what kind of sports do you do?
if it's soccer it could be leg muscle.
break-dancing made me gain 5 pounds of upper body muscle.
my clothes still fits but the scale says that I've gain 5 pounds. i eat normal as well.

If you feel slimmer, that probably means you're gaining muscle. 5lbs of muscle will look smaller and 'tighter' than 5lbs of fat. However, it still weighs 5lbs. When you do exercises that cause you to gain muscle, your net weight loss won't be that much. Measure your waist and your fat percentage instead.
