Can't compare: You can't compare yourself to anyone else. The rate of weight loss depends on how many fewer calories you are consuming now and how many more calories you are burning compared to previously. It is possible that your mother was eating much more than you and not exercising as much previously, and has cut back more than you to lose 20 lbs. Also does she weigh more than you to start?
