Too little information. An app could be the culprit. Your wireless router's firmware backdoor could be the culprit. Then you have "the Internet" (see below). Finally, you have the ISPs themselves, which are often suspect because the NSA has direct access to their hardware and could also perform the same actions at the ISP level without the ISP even being in the know or liable.
Download an app that will perform a trace route. It's the equivalent of running "tracert google.com" in a Windows command prompt. Every single hop you see between you and the destination is also a physical switch or router, which potentially has the same issues as your own router listed above. Oh. And each and every one of these devices is also logging your request so it can be viewed later, HTTPS/SSL or not.
The internet is a mess, it was never designed to be secure. Until the next iteration comes about (which, depending on history, might be worse as opposed to better for privacy), we will always be chasing never-ending exploits and doing our best to fix them.
Edit: Also, since you are using a cell network and IMEI hijacks are extremely easy due to their preference in proximity, you could be experiencing a direct Stingray data hijack. This is probably less likely, but still a common occurrence - last time I was in DC my phones protection configuration terminated all active hooks no less than seven times in one session when I was just walking to grab something to eat due to the obscene amount of (likely non-Government..) IMEI Stingray-like devices either physically mounted or on passing vehicles.
We already live in an absolute surveillance state - the joke is that most of the surveillance isn't even known to the Government, which got left behind by private surveillance capabilities long ago.

No. It would appear you are experiencing a MITM attack.

That’s worth a shot. The ‘MITM’ would likely be a... third party.
