I started working out around 4 weeks ago. Stronglift 5*5
I dont have a lot to lose. My goal is to get fit, build some muscle.
I started at 110 lbs 4 weeks ago and I am 106 lbs as of today. I did lose couple of inches from all over the place.
I ate around 1500 (2200 on 5 days)
My TDEE was 1500 - ish.
I am 30F, 150cm, 106 lbs as of now.
My weight loss goal was 0.25-0.5 lbs a week. Also I have been eating 100g of protein.

Should I be concerned about my weight loss rate and eat a little bit more?

    I would not be worried about such a short period of time. The weight always fluctuates incredibly much, depending on the fluid in the body. My guess is that you are rebuilding the fat stores you have for muscle.

    It's normal to shed some water weight initially, from increasing exercise and/or reducing your carb intake. I wouldn't worry unless you lose the same weight this month.
    Btw, make sure to eat back at least some of your exercise calories.
