I pick up 3-4kg within a week of starting creatine, and about the same after a cheat day 
Give it a few weeks. It's not a sprint, and things will probably even out. I'm not so sure about the waist expansion so much though. Ase you sure your diet is on point and your tdee calc accurate?

Yeah...it doesn't look like you applied any activity multiplier to your BMR to get your TDEE, such as:
1.200 = sedentary (little or no exercise)
1.375 = light activity (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)
1.550 = moderate activity (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)
1.725 = very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week)
1.900 = extra active (very hard exercise/sports and physical job)
So (1971 x one of the above) - 500
Looks like your body is in starvation mode. It will also be tough to hold on to muscle unless you eat more.

Ideally you should match it to your daily activity, but yeah, see what an extra 300-400 calories do for you. Obviously trim it down if you're taking the weekend off and spending it in front of the TV
Google TDEE calculator - there's loads of them out there.

@Jono, the nutritional values on packaging and most diet apps use raw weights for meat because cooking methods and times can have varying effects on fluid loss.
1kg of chicken breast may end up weighing 600g if you grill it to death in the oven, 650g when you cook it, or 750g when you boil it. You're right that it still contains roughly the same amount of fat and protein, but your method is more complicated than mine because you have to weigh twice.
My butcher cuts chicken breasts into parcels of either 200g or 250g pieces for me, so I don't have to weight them ever. You need to know what your chicken pieces weigh raw, and then weigh them again once cooked when you dish up
However, if Rooibul was eating 1kg cooked chicken, he'd be getting in ~40% more calories than you
