Would moving to a city where your long distance gf is moving to look weak and lose me respect in her eyes?

I don’t see how wanting to be in the same city as your girlfriend would be weak. That’s kind of how dating someone works

Sorry but you’ve got some shit to work out in your mind if you think moving to be closer to your gf is “weak”

That said, hopefully you’re both communicating with each other and on a level playing field about who moves where and why (as opposed to making assumptions about what the other person would want without asking them)

I’m the one with more flexibility in my career plans but it shows I lack my own ambition, drive and independence or personal identity and she’d probably lose respect for me after realizing that or itd make things feel too serious

but it’s not like your moving in together yk but at the same time if she’s mature enough she should realize your doing things for both of your guys future

I don’t see how it would show you lack ambition, drive, independence, personal identity, etc. Now, if YOU personally believe you’re lacking in those areas (independently of whether you move near her or not), that’s something to address. But the focus should be on your actual motives and desires, not a worry about whether people will think it’s weak.

Also, it sounds like you might not really be certain of your relationship with her. What does she think about you two living closer together? Do you enjoy the relationship and look forward to a chance to spend more time together?
