So you have enabled the watchdog and should see something like this
upon bootup:

WDT:   Started without servicing (60s timeout)

Is this correct? Then you need to enable the U-Boot internal WDT
servicing by enabling CONFIG_WATCHDOG as well, as this will
result in the internal U-Boot servicing of the watchdog. Then
you should see this upon bootup and no reset will appear in
U-Boot:

WDT:   Started with servicing (60s timeout)

Does this help?

Thanks,
Stefan
