Using Cipralex , unable to lose weight

I started taking Cipralex for anxiety and post-partum depression in December 2017 and I had gain 10lbs initially because of bad eating habits.. After the holidays, I started to clean up my diet..I train 6-7 days a week ( strength + cardio ), I drink green tea, I cut all the sugar, gluten, and follow a keto diet.. In the past, I had a very good success on keto and had lost a lot of weight.. Now, I lost about 5 lbs but can't seem to be losing more than that ( some days I even gain 1-2 lbs ).. I wake up feeling all puffy and bloated.. Just wondering if the Cipralex causes water retention and keeps me from losing weight? And if so, what else can I do to help with the weight loss? I feel like I am doing everything right but somehow, the weight is not coming off.. Please help!!
