Default Temp fluctuations

I’ve recently had the pump and thermostat replaced at a local service, they burped the system and I burped it myself too. The thing is I got some fluctuations on temp gauge for example on downhills and hard acceleration. I know those cars takes a bit longer to warm up mine does in 15-20 min and after neddle hit the right spot like 48/100 on gauge it drops a bit then comes back up and stay there if I drive constantly.
Today I got an OBD scanner to see some live ect readings and I got this:
81 C,82 C, 83 C on constant drive at 80-100 kmh and no fluctuations on gauge
On downhills and higher rpm it drops to 78 C, 79 C needle goes down a bit
Outside temp is -3 C, what do you guys think about this? Thanks!
