Rapid Weight Loss

Asked for Female, 30 years

I am having a rapid weight loss My pre-pregnancy weight was 51 kg. And on the day of delivery, I was 61 kg on 2 July 2018. I breastfeed my baby. And till the 2nd of December, I was 52.5 kg but after that to till now in five months I lost 7 kgs now I am 46.5 So I want to ask is it normal to lose this much weight because of breastfeeding. Baby is also on other diets and bottle feed as well.
