[F24 / 5'4" / SW: 62kg / CW: 56.7kg] How fast is too fast to lose weight?

I've lost 5.3kg in 3 months. That's 0.4kg a week, it seems quite fast? (For the Americans, that's a lb a week). I was already a healthy weight to start with (BMI was 23.3 and is now 21.3) and I know this rate of weight loss is okay when there's lots to lose, but I don't.

I'm not counting calories, just eating intuitively, as I had issues with calorie counting and restrictive eating and I want to stay far away from the possibility that I might spiral back into the ED. I thought my weight loss would come from the exercise I'm doing and I'd eat calories at roughly maintenance by just eating according to my body/when i'm hungry. I walk 4km each way to the gym five times a week and follow a low volume weightlifting plan. I don't do any cardio beyond the ~40km a week (25 miles) of walking.

Is this too fast? Will I encounter problems?
