Hello and welcome.
Healthy weight loss is considered to be about 2 kg a week, not more. Your exercise regimen is indeed vigorous and I should warn you that this may be a little extreme, but if you have the time and energy, then reaching your target weight and then maintaining it should be your aim.
With the current regimen and controlled intake of food, you should be able to lose abou 3-5 kgs a week, although I hope this is only temporary as it may not be healthy.
Best wishes.
