You say your soda intake was "intense". There are 150 calories in a 12-ounce can of soda. If you drank a six-pack a day, that is very nearly a thousand calories per day that you've recently cut out of your diet.
That means you've cut your caloric intake by about one-third, assuming you eat between 2000 and 3000 calories per day.
Not only that but soda causes a lot of water retention and bloating. Some of the "weight" you lost was probably not fat, but water you'd been retaining.
I'm sure the weight loss will level out and stop eventually; 175 does not sound like a terribly thin weight. It's probably a normal, healthy weight for you to be.
People who are of normal, healthy weight can usually see the outline of their ribcages. That doesn't sound alarming.
Just congratulate yourself on cutting out a bad habit; your teeth and kidneys will thank you.
Best wishes.
