You guys think I'm losing weight too rapidly?

I'm 17M, 5'8, and currently 148.0lbs.

I have been cutting for 11 days with the goal of reaching visible abs after a fail 2-week bulk where I gained too much fat and went overboard.

I've been eating at 1800cals/day, with 130-150g protein/180g carb/40-50g fat.

Here are my last 11 weigh ins since the start of my cut, all taken every morning at the same time:

152.4

151.8

150

150

149.6

149.8

149.8

149.6

149.4

149.4

149.4

148.0(today)

This morning's weigh in surprised me and came out of nowhere even though I've been keeping everything consistent. This means I lost 4.2lbs in less than two weeks-- I heard the rule of thumb is 0.5-1lb/week loss to preserve as much muscle as possible.

Do you guys think I should up my calorie intake for a bit or what?

For reference, before I started this cut I attempted to bulk for two weeks eating 2500 calories and I gained 5 lbs which resulted in too much fat gain.
