I don't think it should be a problem if that is all she lost and it is not a continual issue. Sometimes a little more activity can burn up more calories. As she grows she may need a few more calories anyway. You should be increasing her food as she grows. Some dogs burn more energy than others so what you see on your dog food label is only an estimate.
It's good you are paying attention to her weight. She should continue to grow for a few more months. It will be at a much slower growth rate than the first few months of her life but she will add a little more in size plus muscle and bone.
