Can I stop going to the gym after weight loss if I keep up with healthy eating? ?

You CAN do whatever you want. Weight loss and maintenance are 80% diet, so there was no need to go to the gym to lose weight in the first place. Working out impacts your body composition, cardiovascular fitness, and does burn some calories, If you've been working out and stop, you'll burn fewer calories, lose muscle mass, and decrease in general fitness.

Your definition and strength will diminish, but exercise has almost nothing to do with significant fat loss.

You never had to start going to the gym, so you may quit whenever you choose. However, being active/exercising IS part of overall good fitness AND can help maintain a healthy weight due to the additional calories burned. Since what you eat (your diet) is 80% of weight loss/maintenance, exercise doesn't have to be part of it from that standpoint. Your diet plays a much bigger part than the gym.
