Sodium/Water Weight...HELP

You're not going to see a steady loss on the scale regardless; there are plenty of factors beyond sodium that influence how much water is in your body at any given time.
If you have a caloric deficit for an extended period, you'll lose some combination of fat and muscle (depending on how much excess you have to lose, whether you do any resistance exercise, etc.). That may be masked on the scale due to water weight fluctuation. But water retention doesn't prevent fat loss.

What do you mean on the not seeing steady loss regardless? Is it normal to not lose on some weeks even if you eat right? I think that happened to me last week.

It's normal for the scale to fluctuate for non-obvious reasons not within your control, and that weight fluctuation can result in not seeing a loss on the scale, despite the fact that you mathematically should have lost fat. I lost pretty quick (an average of 1.6 pounds a week), and there were multiple periods when I had no loss according to the scale on any given week.
