How are you measuring your fat percentage?2

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.6 -

I got a scale that shows fat, muscle, water weight. I know they aren’t exact though0 -

Generally speaking they aren't even close!
I'd measure bodyfat with pictures and how your clothes fit.5 -
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.1

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.1

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.0
