It might be more like 3-5lbs on average. But I definitely lost a good 4-5lbs this week.

It sounds like a lot!! A healthy weight loss is around 1-2lbs a week depending on how much overweight one is though for an obese or morbidly obese person 5lbs is alright.

Thats way too much and probably extremely unhealthy if its actual fat and muscle loss

Most you should be losing is around 1-2 pounds per week of actual fat

fast. not overly realistic, but possible

I even think one pound of fat in a week is pretty fast.

If you loosing 20 pounds in months, That's really unhealthy and mostly would be water weight and would only decrease your strength and stamina. you should aim at 2/week

So that you save as many muscles as you can when cutting and believe me, It'd look wway better than loosing 20 in month.

5 lbs a week is expecting too much in the long run.
