Apple Health shows different weights

After the holidays, I weighed myself this morning on my smart scale, which sent the data to Apple Health.

On the front page of the Apple Health app, my weight is 60.8 kg.

But when I go to the Day View, it shows my weight as 55.67 kg.

???!!!??

Why did Apple Health did this?

As you can see, the pic below is the front page of the Apple Health App. My weight is 60.8 kg.

The I tap the "Weight" panel, and Apple Health gives me this:

Any ideas why?

How do I delete errant Weight data in Apple Health? I update my weight in Apple Health every Sunday. Today I opened Apple Health and discovered something had already added a weight for today about 45 min ago. This weight is about 40 pounds over where I am. The only explanation I can think of was that I was doing some "housecleaning" disconnecting some apps (Withings, MySugr, Heartline, MyFitnessPal etc.). I no longer wanted connected to Apple Health and one of them appears to have left a "gift in the punch bowl" on the way out. Back in the day, there was an option to edit data in the Apple Health. Today it looks like I can only add data. Anyway I can determine the source of that datapoint? Any way to delete that entry? Right now I am suspecting MyFitnessPal as it recently (as in the last 2-3 days and it is now listed as a "known bug" on their web site) started having problems reading exercise calories from Apple Health.

Apple Health App Keeps Repeating Weight from an Unknown Source I've searched here and the Internet and have not seen anything like this. Haven't reported it to Apple yet; thought I'd try here first. I use an older Withings WiFi scale connected to their Health Mate app to record weight weekly. It is the ONLY source given permission to write weight to Apple Health. It correctly syncs to Apple Health within 30-60 seconds and the Health Mate icon appears next to the data record in Apple Health. But within one or two days, Apple Health will start adding the exact same reading over and over to the weight data, with an iPhone icon next to it. I have verified many times that NO OTHER app has permission to write weight data. And if one did, I would expect the icon to be specific to that app, not an iPhone icon. I even suspected maybe the weight I manually enter into the Medical ID of Apple Health may be writing it back. But I always round the weight to whole numbers when updating the weight in my Medical ID and the mystery weights always appear with the same full decimal values as the original weight from the Health Mate app. I do not have any other iPhones activated and only have one Apple Watch connected (Series 4) that has no weight apps of any kind. The solution so far has been to manually deleted the errant data once a week, sometimes as many as 20 data points, to keep the chart trend lines accurate, as I am on a very serious weight loss journey and as a diabetic need very accurate info for myself and my doctor. Anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance.
