How are you measuring your fat percentage?

When you start a new diet, it's common sometimes to see a big drop in the beginning due to a loss in water weight. I imagine that is what most of it is, and not fat loss, although that should be a portion of it. Your loss should slow going forward.

How are you measuring your BF%? If its through a home scale, those are notoriously inaccurate, and I wouldn't put too much stock in the readings.

I got a scale that shows fat, muscle, water weight. I know they aren’t exact though

Generally speaking they aren't even close!

I'd measure bodyfat with pictures and how your clothes fit.

2 kg in the first week and a half of a new diet is largely water weight. Your pace of weight loss should slow down to a more sustainable rate, assuming you aren't undereating. Body fat scales are generally not very accurate.

When you're eating in a deficit, you're going to lose both fat and lean body mass. The lean-body mass loss in the beginning is mostly water.

Water weight makes your weight fluctuate a lot. Give it a few weeks and then note the average of your weight loss, this is how much you’re losing a week approximately.
