1-2lbs a week is generally accepted as a healthy weight gain/loss target.

Generally. But if you are already in the healthy weight range, you may need to undereat to lose more than 1 lb per week, and for some short women, even 1 lb per week is too much of a deficit to carry. With OP's stats, 2 lbs per week is aggressive and likely not possible in a healthy fashion.
