Suggest Treatment For Water Retention In Body

Recently I have been trying to lose a few pounds. It started off with a reasonable calorie deficit and moderate exercise and losing a healthy two pounds/week. I got to my goal weight and slowly slowed down on all the swimming, running, and aerobics. It turns out I was not consuming enough calories to be healthy and I seem to be retaining a ton of water due to edema. I think I had anerexia athletica (unknowingly) for about 3 months. But I now only do 30 mins of exercise and eat a bit more normally now. I still have massive fluid retention and don t know how to eliminate it properly. When I weigh myself in the morning I am 105lbs at 5 foot 4. But I think I also am holding some water as well. What should I do?
