Walking is good cardio for your health and heart but not good for losing weight.
It’s a big misconception that gaining muscle will make you gain weight. You have to work very very hard and intentionally to bulk up with muscle.
The more muscle you have the more calories you burn and the better you’ll feel and look.
Do some weight bearing exercises and you’ll lose weight faster. Eat more protein and less carbs. Drink water not sugary things. And don’t weigh yourself daily, do it once a week or month, or test your weight loss with how your clothing fits.

They did a study and weighing yourself once a day (first thing in the morning) leads to more weight loss than weighing once a week or less. So you're not alone.
Read about "whoosh effect" which explains why you can have a good day or two or three but not see the scale go down yet. Also, some things cause water retention. I know if I do weight lifting, that causes me to retain weight the next day, but 2 days later weight goes down again.
But you're def not alone that you lose weight better/don't gain weight when you weigh in every day.
