Is it safe to loose weight when pregnant?

So I have a question, Is it safe (I'm 33 weeks) to try to loose some pounds before I give birth? Not exaggerated weight either but like start to work out a little more each day and eat healthier than before.. I just walk everyday but not do any actual excercises.. For the past months I've been pigging out and have gained a lot of weight so fast I don't wanna be so heavy and huge after the baby.. Is it too late to try to get fit?

    I've been losing weight for most of my pregnancy. I completely changed my eating habits and started to get a bit more active. I had been walking but just switched to swimming bc I think my belly is starting to get too heavy. After walking a bit it would start to get sore and it doesn't feel like baby likes my maternity belt so.....
    Anyway, my doctor only expressed concern once but baby is growing and measures on point so he's not worried about it.

    I'm 35 weeks now and have lost 1/2 lb at each of my last two weekly appointments. Before that I think I had lost 2 lbs. I did the math and I'm about 13lbs lighter than I was when I got pregnant. There's been weeks where I gained but then there would be weeks when I would lose.
    My intention was never really to lose weight (I was pretty average to begin with) I just wanted to eat healthier for baby and I got more active bc my mom said it would help make labor a bit easier.
