Doc told me I was 5 lbs more than I needed to be…

Hi! I’m 24 weeks pregnant and had my 24 week OB check up yesterday. Baby’s heart rate and my blood pressure was perfectly healthy and normal. I’m 144 lbs now (was about 120 lbs pre-pregnancy) and my doctor told me I was about 5 lbs heavier than I needed to be right now. I feel like this is a strange and unnecessary thing to mention since the baby is perfectly healthy and I’m obviously not going to start losing weight now that I’m pregnant? Anyone else have similar experience? It’s my first and I do feel big for 24 weeks! It just made me feel worse.
