You must decline: I am a navy captain, and no member of the military will ask you to lose weight while pregnant. You need to gain appropriately to provide nutrition for the baby's growth. Weight loss could result in damage to the fetus, especially during critical organ maturation and growth. This is an unlawful and unethical order or request, which you can take up the chain if you need to.
