mm, you are losing extremely well. To think of % values is much more telling than number digit values.

You should expect to lose 1% of your present weight weekly. If you are 170 pounds, you can eat healthy and lose 1.7 pounds per week safely. That is your weight x .01.

A 300 lb person could lose 3 pounds safely; a 100 lb person could lose 1.0 pounds safely. Anything beyond that is wonderful! Congrats~
