Your scale is inaccurate or your clothes are heavier than you think

It sounds like the weight difference was influenced by the difference between the clothes and extras(keys). Relatively common specifically during winter when even heavier clothes and boots may take it to 4-5 lbs.

If your weight is otherwise normal, this is within the error of the measurement. Visit this site to calculate your BMI. BMI calculator https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
