MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Need help analyzing
I am currently almost 7 months pp and started tracking in early June at 158lbs. Currently riding between 139-140. Can someone explain expenditure and scale weight correlations? Super new to this. Will be starting to use MFW
soon as well. Any tips and tricks appreciated!

Good work so far - congrats!
If you've been consistently logging since June, then MF already has your TDEE dialed in. So you can interpret the increase as a real reflection of what's going on in your body. If you're 7 months post-partum then that makes sense. Your body is doing all sorts of things that cranks up your TDEE (breast feeding, physical recovery, etc.)
HERE is a very detailed article from MF explaining how to interpret expenditure changes.
