Is losing 0.5kg (about 1 pound) a week too much for my size?

I'm 157cm and 47.5kg (5"2 and 104.7lb)
I don't want to put more weight on in the long run, but so far I've been losing 0.5kg a week because that's what I've read is normal. I just want to lose another 2.5kg, but is that okay for someone of my size? Or should I be aiming for something like half a kilo every TWO weeks instead of one?

Probably a kilo a month would be safe.0
