What if Fitbit inflates the calories expended?

I do not feel that I have lost weight on this trip, despite treating everyday seriously as a relationship between calories in (Lose It) and energy expended as measured by Fitbit.  I will be back from vacation in a few days and what if the scale shows that I have gained rather than lost weight, though I had been so scrupulous.  I am seriously nervous, seriously concerned and seriously worried.  I eat to the Lose it calories indicated.  I start with 1100 and have "earned" up to 900 from walking over 20K steps.

What if I have been wrong on my calorie entry (I have been very conservative), what if I really don't burn 900 calories when I walk 20,000 steps?

Nervous.  Based on my basis of 1130 calories, I should have lost a little weight, minimum held within a pound, but NOT gained.  After almost 4 weeks of such cautious eating I seriously should have lost weight.

SO, if I didn't I cannot trust Fit Bit, or I cannot trust Lose It and this would be a big big loss for me going forward.
